  1. Immune cells lacking Y chromosome show dysregulation of autosomal gene expression

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS 2021-04-10 Genetics

    Epidemiological investigations show that mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) in leukocytes is associated with earlier mortality and morbidity from many diseases in men.

  2. Mosaic loss of human Y chromosome: what, how and why

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Human genetics 2020-02-04 Genetics

    Y chromosome (ChrY), the male-specific sex chromosome, has been considered as a genetic wasteland.

  3. Longitudinal changes in the frequency of mosaic chromosome Y loss in peripheral blood cells of aging men varies profoundly between individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2019-10-25 Genetics

    Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) is the most common somatic genetic aberration and is associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality, various forms of cancer and Alzheimer's disease, as well as other common human diseases.

  4. Y chromosome mosaicism is associated with age-related macular degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2018-08-29 Genetics

    Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in industrialised countries, and thereby a major individual but also a socio-economic burden.

  5. Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with frontotemporal dementia is linked to a locus on chromosome 9p13.2-21.3

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2006-02-22 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are both relentlessly progressive and ultimately fatal neurological disorders.

  6. Susceptibility locus for Alzheimer's disease on chromosome 10

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Science (New York, N.Y.) 2000-12-01 Genetics

    The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is the only genetic risk factor that has so far been linked to risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).

  7. Mapping of a gene for Parkinson's disease to chromosome 4q21-q23

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Science (New York, N.Y.) 1996-11-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease, affecting approximately 1 percent of the population over age 50.

  8. Genetic evidence for a novel familial Alzheimer's disease locus on chromosome 14

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Nature genetics 1992-12-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) has been shown to be genetically heterogeneous, with a very small proportion of early onset pedigrees being associated with mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome 21, and some late onset pedigrees showing associations with markers on chromosome 19.
