  1. Our findings provide novel insights into the genetic determinants of LBD and the shared genetic etiology and biological mechanisms of LBD, AD, and PD, which could benefit the understanding of the co-pathology as well as the potential treatment of these diseases simultaneously.

  2. Shared genetic etiology underlying Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2020-03-09 Genetics

    Patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) frequently manifest comorbid neuropsychiatric symptoms with depression and anxiety being most frequent, and individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) have an increased prevalence of LOAD.

  3. Shared genetic etiology underlying Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Molecular aspects of medicine 2015-06-23 Genetics

    Epidemiological evidence supports the observation that subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at higher risk to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD).
