Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of cognitive decline in the aging population, presenting a critical need for early diagnosis and effective prognostic tools. Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, have emerged as promising biomarkers for AD due to their roles in regulating gene expression and potential for reversibility. This review examines the current landscape of epigenetic biomarkers in AD, emphasizing their diagnostic and prognostic relevance. DNA methylation patterns in genes such as APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 are highlighted for their strong associations with AD pathology. Alterations in DNA methylation at specific CpG sites have been consistently observed in AD patients, suggesting their utility in early detection. Histone modifications, such as acetylation and methylation, also play a crucial role in chromatin remodelling and gene expression regulation in AD. Dysregulated histone acetylation and methylation have been linked to AD progression, making these modifications valuable biomarkers. Non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), further contribute to the epigenetic regulation in AD. miRNAs can modulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and have been found in altered levels in AD, while lncRNAs can influence chromatin structure and gene expression. The presence of these non-coding RNAs in biofluids like blood and cerebrospinal fluid positions them as accessible and minimally invasive biomarkers. Technological advancements in detecting and quantifying epigenetic modifications have propelled the field forward. Techniques such as next-generation sequencing, bisulfite sequencing, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays offer high sensitivity and specificity, enabling the detailed analysis of epigenetic changes in clinical samples. These tools are instrumental in translating epigenetic research into clinical practice. This review underscores the potential of epigenetic biomarkers to enhance the early diagnosis and prognosis of AD, paving the way for personalized therapeutic strategies and improved patient outcomes. The integration of these biomarkers into clinical workflows promises to revolutionize AD management, offering hope for better disease monitoring and intervention.
