  1. Systematic tissue-specific functional annotation of the human genome highlights immune-related DNA elements for late-onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. PLoS genetics 2017-07-24 Genetics

    Continuing efforts from large international consortia have made genome-wide epigenomic and transcriptomic annotation data publicly available for a variety of cell and tissue types.

  2. 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.

  3. A full genome scan for late onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Human molecular genetics 1999-02-01 Genetics

    We have genotyped 292 affected sibling pairs (ASPs) with Alzheimer's disease (AD) according to NINCDS-ADRDA diagnostic criteria and with onset ages of >/=65 years using 237 microsatellite markers separated by an average distance of 16.3 cM.
