Abstract

Epigenome-wide association studies of Alzheimer’s disease have highlighted neuropathology-associated DNA methylation differences, although existing studies have been limited in sample size and utilized different brain regions. Here, we combine data from six methylomic studies of Alzheimer’s disease (N=1,453 unique individuals) to identify differential methylation associated with Braak stage in different brain regions and across cortex. At an experiment-wide significance threshold (P
