Background: Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant condition causing severe neurodegeneration in the striatum and the entorhinal cortex (EC). An epigenome wide association study of DNA methylation in HD by our group, identified potential hypomethylation at the PTGDS gene in the striatum. We aimed to validate this result through pyrosequencing, examining the locus in fine detail, and to assess the signal specificity by profiling multiple neurodegenerative diseases.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, but we have limited insight into their role in age-related cerebral pathologies. Here, we investigated the association between miRNAs and nine age-related cerebral pathologies in participants of the ROS/MAP cohorts.

Method: MiRNA sequencing was performed on samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of 617 brain donors from participants of the ROS/MAP cohorts.

Background: Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) allows for the dissection of the cell type-specific transcriptional profiles of tissue specimens. In this study, we compared gene expression in multiple brain cell types in brain tissue from Alzheimer disease (AD) cases with no or other co-existing pathologies including Lewy body disease (LBD) and vascular disease (VaD).

Method: We evaluated differential gene expression measured from single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) data generated from the hippocampus region tissue donated by 11 BU ADRC participants with neuropathologically confirmed AD with or without a co-existing pathology (AD-only = 3, AD+VaD = 6, AD+LBD = 2).

Institute of Neuropathology, Fukushimura Hospital, Toyohashi, Japan.

Background: The Fukushimura (welfare village), located in Toyohashi city, Japan, is a unique complex of various nursing home facilities including dementia homes, Day-care houses, homes for disabled and mentally retarded, and the Fukushimura Hospital. This village is totally managed by private sector, the Sawarabi Medical Cooperative. About 800 elderly people reside in this area.

Background: Examining the neuropathology of the oldest-old has significantly advanced our understanding of the multiple etiologies in very late life. Most studies have included exclusively White decedents with limited ethnoracial diversity. Our goal was to characterize neuropathology in a cohort of ethnically and racially diverse oldest-old decedents.
