  1. Mechanistic insights into the deleterious roles of Nasu-Hakola disease associated TREM2 variants

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Scientific reports 2020-02-27 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Recently, the critical roles played by genetic variants of TREM2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 2) in Alzheimer's disease have been aggressively highlighted.

  2. Deleterious ABCA7 mutations and transcript rescue mechanisms in early onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2017-04-27 Genetics

    Premature termination codon (PTC) mutations in the ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family A, Member 7 gene (ABCA7) have recently been identified as intermediate-to-high penetrant risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).
