  1. Pervasive biases in proxy genome-wide association studies based on parental history of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Nature genetics 2024-11-04 Genetics

    Almost every recent Alzheimer's disease (AD) genome-wide association study (GWAS) has performed meta-analysis to combine studies with clinical diagnosis of AD with studies that use proxy phenotypes based on parental disease history.

  2. Effect of disease related biases on the subjective assessment of social functioning in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia patients

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Journal of psychiatric research 2020-11-09 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Here we show that the observed overestimation of WHODAS social functioning scores in AD and SZ patients is partly driven by disease-related biases such as cognitive impairments and negative symptoms, respectively.
