Potential multiple disease progression pathways in female patients with Alzheimer's disease inferred from transcriptome and epigenome data of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. by Kousei Honda, Akinori Awazu

“…Here, based on an analysis of publicly available data from female patients, this study found that AD pathology appears to be nonuniform; AD patients were divided into several groups with differential gene expression patterns, including those related to cognitive function. First, cluster analysis was performed on individuals diagnosed with "No Cognitive Impairment (NCI)," "Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)," and "Alzheimer's Disease (AD)" stages in clinical trials using gene expression, and multiple substages were identified across AD progression. …”
