  1. Cell-Free DNA As Peripheral Biomarker of Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Aging and disease 2024-03-29 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease-related disorders (ADRD) are progressive neurodegenerative diseases without cure.

  2. Systematic tissue-specific functional annotation of the human genome highlights immune-related DNA elements for late-onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. PLoS genetics 2017-07-24 Genetics

    Continuing efforts from large international consortia have made genome-wide epigenomic and transcriptomic annotation data publicly available for a variety of cell and tissue types.

  3. A genome-wide association study for late-onset Alzheimer's disease using DNA pooling

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. BMC medical genomics 2008-09-29 Genetics

    We have validated the pooling method for GWA studies by both identifying the APOE locus and by observing a strong enrichment for significantly associated SNPs.
