  1. Whole genome-wide sequence analysis of long-lived families (Long-Life Family Study) identifies MTUS2 gene associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-02-21 Biomarkers

    MTUS2 encodes a microtubule associated protein implicated in the development and function of the nervous system, making it a plausible candidate to investigate LOAD biology.

  2. Interactive eBooks in educating patients and their families about head injury regardless of age

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Clinical neurology and neurosurgery 2017-03-08 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We demonstrated that interactive educational interventions are effective in the elderly TBI population.

  3. A Novel PSEN1 K311R Mutation Discovered in Chinese Families with Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Affects Amyloid-β Production and Tau Phosphorylation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    The K311R mutation might contribute to AD pathogenesis by overproducing toxic Aβ species and enhancing tau phosphorylation.

  4. Results of a high-resolution genome screen of 437 Alzheimer's disease families

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Human molecular genetics 2003-01-01 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder of late life with complex inheritance.
