Table 1. Disease demographics and repositories analyzed.
Two data types were analyzed from three different brain banks: (1) RNAseq data from AD and non-AD control brains were analyzed via PathSeq from both MSBB (n=301) and ROSMAP (n=600) cohorts, while (2) DNA extracted from AD and non-AD control brains from both ROSMAP (n=364) and JHBRC (n=344) was assessed for PCR reactivity.
