Introduction:
This study explores the correlation between immune inflammation and Alzheimer's disease (AD), focusing on immune-brain interactions impacting neurodevelopment and function.
Methods:
Public genetic data were used to analyze 731 immune cell signals, employing two-sample Mendelian randomization, with multiple testing corrected by the Bonferroni-adjusted false discovery rate (FDR).
Results:
Six immune phenotypes were identified as significantly increasing AD risk (effect sizes ranging from OR =1.038 to 1.123), including HLA DR on CD33+ HLA DR+ CD14-, HLA DR on CD14+ monocyte, CD4+ CD8dim T cells (% lymphocytes), CD33 on HLA DR on CD14+ CD16- monocyte, CD33 on CD33+ HLA-DR+ CD14dim cells and CD11c on CD62L+ myeloid dendritic cell.
Conclusion:
This study confirms the genetic association between specific immune cells and AD, highlighting potential immune-related biomarkers for AD risk.
