In the Takousis et al. report this had revealed a total of seven AD genes for the four miRNAs validated in our study, i.e. ADAMTS4 (miR-129-5p), APP (miR-138-5p and miR-195-5p), CD2AP (miR-195-5p), CNTNAP2 (miR-195-5p), and FERMT2 (miR-138-5p). This evidence concerns the gene CNTNAP2 and Alzheimer disease.
