Epigenetic Factors in Late-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease: <em>MTHFR</em> and<em> CTH </em>Gene Polymorphisms, Metabolic Trans-sulfuration and Methylation Pathways, and B Vitamins
2018-12-24
Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation and other epigenetic factors are important in the pathogenesis of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutations occur in most elderly patients with memory loss. MTHFR is critical for production of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), the principal methyl donor. A common mutation (1364T/T) of the cystathionine-γ-lyase (CTH)...
