  1. Deletion of Alzheimer's disease-associated CD33 results in an inflammatory human microglia phenotype

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Glia 2021-02-04 Genetics

    Genome-wide association studies demonstrated that polymorphisms in the CD33/sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 3 gene are associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. PU.1 regulates Alzheimer's disease-associated genes in primary human microglia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2018-08-20 Genetics

    In the brain, PU.1 is specifically expressed in microglia and recent evidence from genome-wide association studies suggests that reductions in PU.1 contribute to a delayed onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), possibly through limiting neuroinflammatory responses.

  3. RIPK1 mediates a disease-associated microglial response in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2017-09-13 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Dysfunction of microglia is known to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. The Alzheimer's Disease-Associated R47H Variant of TREM2 Has an Altered Glycosylation Pattern and Protein Stability

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Frontiers in neuroscience 2017-01-18 TREM2 and immune genetics

    The R47H coding variant of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (TREM2) increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) similar to apolipoprotein E4.

  5. Predominant expression of Alzheimer's disease-associated BIN1 in mature oligodendrocytes and localization to white matter tracts

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2016-08-03 Genetics

    Our study provides new insights into the brain distribution and cellular expression of an important risk factor associated with late-onset AD.
