Abstract excerpt
Abstract Microglia play a key role in the response to amyloid beta in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this context, the major transcriptional response of microglia is the upregulation of APOE , the strongest late-onset AD risk gene. Of its three isoforms, APOE2 is thought to be protective, while APOE4 increases AD risk. We hypothesised that the isoforms change gene regulatory patterns that link back to biological...
