  1. The coarse-grained plaque: a divergent Aβ plaque-type in early-onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2020-09-14 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-beta (Aβ) deposits, which come in myriad morphologies with varying clinical relevance.

  2. The implication of epigenetic mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been demonstrated in several studies.

  3. Two novel presenilin-1 mutations (I249L and P433S) in early onset Chinese Alzheimer's pedigrees and their functional characterization

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Biochemical and biophysical research communications 2019-06-21 Biomarkers

    Clinical case study and functional characterization of the disease-associated presenilin-1 (PSEN1) mutations may help reveal the roles of PSEN1 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  4. A Novel PSEN1 M139L Mutation Found in a Chinese Pedigree with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Increases Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2019-01-01 Biomarkers

    The novel PSEN1 M139L mutation found in familial AD increases the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio significantly.

  5. Biochemical, neuropathological, and neuroimaging characteristics of early-onset Alzheimer's disease due to a novel PSEN1 mutation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Neuroscience letters 2010-11-19 Biomarkers

    Familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to PSEN1 mutations provides an opportunity to examine AD biomarkers in persons in whom the diagnosis is certain.

  6. A novel presenilin 2 mutation (V393M) in early-onset dementia with profound language impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. European journal of neurology 2008-08-22 Biomarkers

    The possible pathogenic nature of the mutation is not clarified.

  7. A novel presenilin-1 mutation (Leu85Pro) in early-onset Alzheimer disease with spastic paraparesis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Archives of neurology 2004-11-01 Biomarkers

    The Leu85Pro mutation in PSEN1 was pathogenic.
