  1. Large-scale genome-wide enrichment analyses identify new trait-associated genes and pathways across 31 human phenotypes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Nature communications 2018-10-19 Genetics

    Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify genetic factors associated with phenotypes.

  2. The Porphyromonas gingivalis/Host Interactome Shows Enrichment in GWASdb Genes Related to Alzheimer's Disease, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2017-12-12 Genetics

    Periodontal disease is of established etiology in which polymicrobial synergistic ecology has become dysbiotic under the influence of Porphyromonas gingivalis .

  3. Blood metabolite markers of neocortical amyloid-β burden: discovery and enrichment using candidate proteins

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2016-01-26 Biomarkers

    We believe this is the first study to investigate associations between blood metabolites and neocortical amyloid burden (NAB) in the search for a blood-based biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
