  1. Involvement of the Chemokine Prokineticin-2 (PROK2) in Alzheimer's Disease: From Animal Models to the Human Pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cells 2019-11-13 Biomarkers

    Among mediators of inflammation, chemokines play a pivotal role in the neuroinflammatory process related to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Whole-genome sequencing suggests a chemokine gene cluster that modifies age at onset in familial Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2015-09-01 Genetics

    We have sequenced the complete genomes of 72 individuals affected with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease caused by an autosomal dominant, highly penetrant mutation in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene, and performed genome-wide association testing to identify variants that modify age at onset (AAO) of Alzheimer's disease.
