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.

  1. Elevated DNA methylation across a 48-kb region spanning the HOXA gene cluster is associated with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 81 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-03-15 Genetics

    We present robust evidence for elevated DNA methylation associated with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology spanning the HOXA gene cluster on chromosome 7.

  2. Mutation analysis of the MS4A and TREM gene clusters in a case-control Alzheimer's disease data set

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2016-03-21 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Genome wide association studies have identified an association between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and common polymorphisms in the MS4A and TREM loci (each containing a cluster of homologous genes) and should be thoroughly investigated for the presence of potentially functional variations.

  3. Whole-genome sequencing suggests a chemokine gene cluster that modifies age at onset in familial Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2015-09-01 Genetics

    We have sequenced the complete genomes of 72 individuals affected with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease caused by an autosomal dominant, highly penetrant mutation in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene, and performed genome-wide association testing to identify variants that modify age at onset (AAO) of Alzheimer's disease.

  4. The membrane-spanning 4-domains, subfamily A (MS4A) gene cluster contains a common variant associated with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Genome medicine 2011-05-31 Genetics

    Our results underscore the importance of international efforts combining GWAS datasets to isolate genetic loci for complex diseases.
