Evidence for sexual antagonism and antagonistic pleiotropy in the maintenance of late onset Alzheimers disease alleles

Quote:Multiple lines of evidence also suggest there is an inverse relationship between cancer and LOAD risk. The combined effect of sexual antagonism and antagonistic pleiotropy could explain the persistence of alleles that increase LOAD risk in post-reproductive females, if they also reduce cancer risk in males. This framework could be applied to other female-biased late-life conditions, and our results may be useful in informing polygenic risk scores or therapies where genotype-by-sex effects may result in undesired outcomes for one particular sex.
