APOEϵ4 African local genomic ancestry (LA) confers less risk for Alzheimer disease (AD) relative to European LA (LA) carriers. Single nucleus RNA sequencing from AD-APOEϵ4/4 frontal cortex found European LA carriers have a 1.45-fold greater APOEϵ4 expression (p< 1.8 E10-313) and are associated with a unique A1 reactive astrocyte cluster. This suggests a potential mechanism for the increased risk for AD seen in European LA carriers of APOEϵ4.
