  1. Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in the Chinese population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery 2020-04-17 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in the plasma of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome patients are higher than those in the control group, and the mechanism of action may be related to sleep disorders and night hypoxia.

  2. Identification of genetic risk factors in the Chinese population implicates a role of immune system in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2018-02-05 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of mortality among the elderly.

  3. SORL1 gene, plasma biomarkers, and the risk of Alzheimer's disease for the Han Chinese population in Taiwan

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2016-12-30 Biomarkers

    The interaction between SORL1 polymorphisms and Aβ formation requires further study.

  4. Polymorphisms of CR1, CLU and PICALM confer susceptibility of Alzheimer's disease in a southern Chinese population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2011-10-19 Genetics

    In this case-controlled study, we tested susceptible genetic variants for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in CR1, CLU and PICALM from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a southern Chinese population.
