“…BIN1 was first linked to AD in early genome-wide associated studies (GWAS) (Harold et al, 2009;Seshadri et al, 2010) and remains second only to APOE in genomewide significance in the recent meta-analysis of 94,437 individuals by the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Disease Project (Kunkle et al, 2019). This association has been replicated in datasets with subjects from diverse genetic backgrounds (Carrasquillo et al, 2011;Hollingworth et al, 2011;Hu et al, 2011;Lambert et al, 2011;Lee et al, 2011;Logue et al, 2011;Naj et al, 2011;Wijsman et al, 2011;Kamboh et al, 2012;Chapuis et al, 2013;Lambert et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2013;Miyashita et al, 2013;Reitz et al, 2013;Li et al, 2015;Dong et al, 2016;Rezazadeh et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2016). Further, unbiased epigenetic analyses have provided independent evidence linking BIN1 to AD pathogenesis in several epigenome-wide association studies examining DNA methylation patterns in brain tissue from AD patients, in which BIN1 again emerged as a top hit (De Jager et al, 2014;Chibnik et al, 2015;Yu et al, 2015).…”
