Alzheimer's disease: early alterations in brain DNA methylation at ANK1, BIN1, RHBDF2 and other loci

Abstract

Aging can lead to cognitive decline associated with neural pathology and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here the authors scan the methylation status of CpGs across the entire genome of brain samples from aged subjects in an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS). Several loci, including ANK1, were associated with AD pathology, gene expression and AD genetic risk networks.
