  1. Differential expression of GWAS-identified AD-associated genes in the hippocampus (HPC) and/or basolateral amygdala (BLA) of APP/Tau mice compared with non-transgenic (WT) mice. Genes are grouped according to their biological function sorted alphabetically with Log2 fold changes (Log2 FC) indicating downregulated (<0) or upregulated (>0) mRNA levels and significantly deregulated (adjusted p-value (padj) <0.1) only in the hippocampus (marked with*) or BLA (marked with**) or in both hippocampus and BLA (not marked).
