Reanalysis of Alzheimer’s Brain Sequencing Data Reveals Absence of Purported HHV6A and HHV7

2019-11-13

Abstract excerpt

Readhead et al. recently reported in Neuron the detection and association of Human Herpesviruses 6A (HHV6A) and 7 (HHV7) with Alzheimer’s disease by shotgun sequencing. I was skeptical of the specificity of their modified Viromescan bioinformatics method and subsequent analysis for numerous reasons. In their supplementary data, they report the detection of Variola virus, the etiological agent of the eradicated di...
