Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations are DNA sequence changes that occur in non-reproductive cells during an organism's life and are not inherited by offspring. Growing evidence implicates somatic mutations in Alzheimer's disease (AD), linking them to both disease onset and progression. Recent advancements in single-cell sequencing and genome-wide analyses have revealed higher mutation burdens in neurons, particularly in AD-related...
