Gene-based analysis showed that T2DM-specific genes are highly expressed in cortical neurons and involved in ion and protein binding, neural development and generation, cell junction and projection, and PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathway, which might increase the aMCI conversion by affecting the Tau phosphorylation and amyloid-beta (Aβ) accumulation. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
