Excerpt
Post-zygotic aneuploidy is the prominent genetic feature of the human brain (1). Genomically mosaic brain results from that the excess of aneuploid neurons due to early developmental disturbances (somatic genome variations), abnormal cell cycle regulation and altered programmed cell death. As the result, aneuploidization of the brain is a likely susceptibility factor (mechanism) for brain disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. …
