Genetic architecture of epigenetic and neuronal ageing rates in human brain regions
Studies on the ‘epigenetic clock’, a recently identified ageing biomarker, suggest that pathology might be linked to tissue-specific accelerated ageing. Here, the authors investigate ageing in the human brain and identify genetic loci associated with accelerated ageing in different brain regions....
