Haplotype-Resolved DNA Methylation at the <i>APOE</i> Locus identifies Allele-Specific Epigenetic Signatures Relevant to Alzheimer’s Disease Risk
2025-07-02
Abstract excerpt
The APOE gene encodes a key lipid transport protein and plays a central role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Three common APOE alleles, ε2 (rs7412(C>T), ε3 (reference), and ε4 (rs429358(T>C)), arise from two coding variants in exon 4 and confer distinct AD risk profiles, with ε4 increasing risk and ε2 providing protection. The ε3-linked APOE variant rs769455[T] has also been associated with elevated A...
