Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study DNA methylation, genetics, and modifiable risk factors of dementia in a multi-ethnic cohort, aiming to understand epigenetic influences on dementia and health disparities.
Description
This is a research project funded by the National Institute on Aging, focusing on DNA methylation, genetics, and modifiable risk factors of dementia in a multi-ethnic cohort. The project aims to analyze associations between DNA methylation and dementia phenotypes, identify genetic polymorphisms controlling DNA methylation, and evaluate the role of epigenetics in health disparities related to Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
