Validation of gene expression changes in the Hisayama microarray dataset. The association between gene expression and dementia status evaluated in an independently generated AD cohort for four of the DAC and DAC-associated genes identified: AQP4, DTNA, MLC1, and FXYD1. Expression changes measured in three regions: HIP, FCX and TCX. For each gene, plots describe associations with dementia status in each brain region (AD). In HIP, elevated expression of AQP4 (p = 0.012) and DTNA (p = 0.033) significantly predict dementia status (red, n = 7) compared to healthy individuals (blue, n = 10), while MLC1 (p = 0.075) shows a trend towards elevated expression. In temporal cortex AQP4 (p = 0.02), DTNA (p = 0.031) and FXYD1 (p = 0.017) all significantly predict dementia status (red, n = 10) compared to healthy subjects (blue, n = 19) while MLC1 (p = 0.069) again exhibits a trend towards increased expression. No differences were observed between dementia (red, n = 15) and non-dementia subjects (blue, n = 18). Statistical associations calculated with logistic regression. The bars in (AD) represent the mean ± the standard error of the mean (S.E.M.). Complete statistical information found in Table 4.
