You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  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. Candidate-based screening via gene modulation in human neurons and astrocytes implicates FERMT2 in Aβ and TAU proteostasis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Human molecular genetics 2019-03-01 Biomarkers

    Large-scale 'omic' studies investigating the pathophysiological processes that lead to Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia have identified an increasing number of susceptibility genes, many of which are poorly characterized and have not previously been implicated in AD.

  3. SORL1 gene, plasma biomarkers, and the risk of Alzheimer's disease for the Han Chinese population in Taiwan

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2016-12-30 Biomarkers

    The interaction between SORL1 polymorphisms and Aβ formation requires further study.
