Disrupted Lipid Homeostasis as a Pathogenic Mechanism in ABCA7-Associated Alzheimers Disease Risk

Younji Nam, Brooke A. DeRosa, Aura María Ramírez…·Margaret Ann Pericak‐Vance

This paper investigates the impact of an ancestry-specific ABCA7 deletion on lipid homeostasis in Alzheimer's disease, showing disrupted lipid regulation in neurons.

African ancestry APOE e4 non-carriers with higher educational attainment are resilient to Alzheimer disease pathology-specific blood biomarker pTau181.

Farid Rajabli, Azizi A Seixas, Bilçağ Akgün…·Margaret Ann Pericak‐Vance

This study finds that higher educational attainment in African ancestry individuals with AD pathology and APOE e4 non-carriers is associated with greater functional resilience.
