LncRNAs are the most tissue-specific family of RNAs opening new horizons for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the field of NDs. Identification of NeuroLINCs’ lncRNAs was performed using deep sequencing of human blood from patients with different stages of Alzheimer, patients with other dementia types, cognitively intact healthy controls and postmortem brains.
Expression levels were compared to select the brain enriched lncRNAs that are differentially expressed in the blood.
A total of 7494 lncRNAs, including 1816 novel lncRNAs never previously described, were identified and those which correlate with the relevant biomarkers of Alzheimer brain pathology (CSF Abeta or Tau) and neurodegeneration (volumetric scores of mediotemporal and hippocampal atrophy) are included into NeuroLINCs panel.
