  1. Clinical genetics and genetic counseling in the era of disease-modifying therapies for dementia: lessons from Japan

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of human genetics 2026-11-04 Treatments

    Recent advances in hereditary dementia research have clarified its molecular pathogenesis and clinical applications, with several advances already reaching implementation.

  2. Investigational treatments for neurodegenerative diseases caused by inheritance of gene mutations: lessons from recent clinical trials

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Neural regeneration research 2023-08-01 Drug development

    We reviewed recent major clinical trials with investigational drugs for the treatment of subjects with neurodegenerative diseases caused by inheritance of gene mutations or associated with genetic risk factors.

  3. Screening of dementia genes by whole-exome sequencing in early-onset Alzheimer disease: input and lessons

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2015-08-05 Genetics

    Causative variants in APP, PSEN1 or PSEN2 account for a majority of cases of autosomal dominant early-onset Alzheimer disease (ADEOAD, onset before 65 years).

  4. Clinical trials in mild cognitive impairment: lessons for the future

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2005-11-23 Treatments

    Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an operational definition for a cognitive decline in individuals with a greater risk of developing dementia.
