Shared genes between Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: The observation that AD and IS had shared disease-associated genes offered mechanistic insights into their common pathogenesis, predominantly involving the immune system. More importantly, our findings have important implications for future research directions, which are encouraged to verify the involvement of these candidates in AD and IS and interpret the exact molecular mechanisms of action.
