No direct genetic overlap was observed between Alzheimer’s disease and depression in our dataset, but we did detect six shared brain-specific eQTL genes: SRA1, MICA, PCDHA7, PCDHA8, PCDHA10 and PCDHA13. Several pathways were identified as shared between Alzheimer’s disease and depression by conducting clustering pathway analysis on hippocampal co-expressed genes; synaptic signaling and organization, myelination, development, and the immune system. The gene discussed is PCDHA7; the disease is early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease.
