Epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiling in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy reveals major changes at DLX1

Epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiling in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy reveals major changes at DLX1

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by aggregation of Tau, encoded by MAPT. Here, the authors perform an EWAS for PSP in prefrontal lobe tissue and find hypermethylation of DLX1 and its antisense transcript DLX1AS to associate with MAPT expression.
