Figure 6. MDI is accelerated in brains of Alzheimer’s disease and autism patients.
MDI was quantified from gene expression data of patients with (a) Alzheimer’s disease (GSE5281, two-way ANOVA, Region p< 0.0001; Disease p < 0.0001) and (b) autism (GSE28521, two-way ANOVA, MDI * p < 0.05) and compared to controls as discussed above. For both, results remained significant after controlling for age-related and regional variability (p<0.05). (c) MDI was calculated using data from adult males and females (18y+, BrainSpan developmental dataset).
