Exploring the Genetic Predisposition to Epigenetic Changes in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent type of dementia in elderly populations with a significant genetic component. The accumulating evidence suggests that AD involves a reconfiguration of the epigenetic landscape, including DNA methylation, post-translational modification of histone proteins, and chromatin remodeling.
