A new Mount Sinai study in Neuron links genetic ancestry and DNA structure in the tau gene region to differences in gene expression and tau RNA forms. These patterns vary by brain region and cell type. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... #Alzheimers #AlzheimersResearch #Genomics @sinaibrain.bsky.social
Mount Sinai publication highlight for a Neuron study. Headline: New DNA subtype identified in the tau gene region. H1_A is more common in people of African ancestry. Scientific takeaway: Relying on one genetic marker can misclassify this region, complicating studies of neurodegenerative disease risk. An original conceptual neuron illustration has a cell body, connected branching dendrites and a long axon with terminal branches; it is not study data. Credits: Sarah A. Weitzman; Alison M. Goate, DPhil; Chiara Pedicone, PhD; and colleagues. Published online September 29, 2026. DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2026.09.008.

Single-cell atlases guide biology and train AI, but who is represented? A study led by Kuan-lin Huang analyzed >13,500 samples: European ancestry was overrepresented, while Asian, African and Latino individuals were underrepresented. doi.org/10.1016/j.xg...
Graphical abstract summarizing an analysis of more than 13,500 samples from the Human Cell Atlas, Human Tumor Atlas Network, and PsychAD Consortium. The study identifies overrepresentation of European ancestry, missing ancestry information and sex-related skews, and presents a checklist for more equitable single-cell study design.
