Figure 3. HHV-6 detection via ddPCR across disease statuses.
The HHV-6B viral load, in copies per 106 cells, is compared between AD and non-AD samples in both the ROSMAP and JHBRC cohorts. Viral load did not differ significantly across groups (One-way ANOVA p=0.41). The frequency of detection of HHV-6A and HHV-6B did not differ between AD and non-AD samples (χ2 p=0.81), with frequencies all remaining well below 10% in each disease cohort. Data are represented as mean ± SD.
