sex-divergent microglial activation states and X-linked immune escape genes should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is sex-stratified single-nucleus RNA-seq with amyloid/tau pathology labels and longitudinal cognition models.
The histone demethylase KDM6A, which escapes X-inactivation, drives higher H3K27me3 demethylation activity in female microglia than in male microglia. This results in elevated expression of neuroprotective microglial gene programs (homeostatic and disease-associated microglia transition states) in early AD. KDM6A-driven sex differences in microglial states explain the paradox of higher female AD prevalence despite relative microglial protection: female-biased microglial activity compensates init
