Perform a large-scale Meta-analysis of Genetic data available from high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays and whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Single-nucleus (sn) RNA-seq data from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. 567,521 eligible participants for AD genetic association studies were selected from referred and volunteer samples, of which 119,852 were excluded for analysis exclusion criteria. 67 and 17 significant cell-type-gene pairs were identified in We identified a set of Show less

Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is dominated by a complex cellular pathology which involves most brain cell types with glial cells increasingly recognized as playing fundamental roles in neurodegeneration. Astrocytes, which perform essential functions in preserving brain homeostasis, present a reactive phenotype in the AD brains with still unknown consequences. In this study, we generated and characterized human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived astrocytes from AD patients harboring the The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12974-025-03607-z.
