  1. Ethnic and trans-ethnic genome-wide association studies identify new loci influencing Japanese Alzheimer's disease risk

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2021-03-03 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) has no cure, but early detection and risk prediction could allow earlier intervention.

  2. Genome-wide association study identifies Alzheimer's risk variant in MS4A6A influencing cerebrospinal fluid sTREM2 levels

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2019-05-21 TREM2 and immune genetics

    The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) gene has been reported to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Genome-wide scan of healthy human connectome discovers SPON1 gene variant influencing dementia severity

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2013-03-05 Genetics

    Aberrant connectivity is implicated in many neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.

  4. Genome-wide analysis reveals novel genes influencing temporal lobe structure with relevance to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. NeuroImage 2010-03-01 Genetics

    In a genome-wide association study of structural brain degeneration, we mapped the 3D profile of temporal lobe volume differences in 742 brain MRI scans of Alzheimer's disease patients, mildly impaired, and healthy elderly subjects.
