Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Measuring heritable contributions to Alzheimer's disease: polygenic risk score analysis with twins

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Brain communications 2022-01-04 Genetics

    The heritability of Alzheimer's disease estimated from twin studies is greater than the heritability derived from genome-based studies, for reasons that remain unclear.

  2. Two novel blood-based biomarker candidates measuring degradation of tau are associated with dementia: A prospective study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 62 out of 100. PloS one 2018-04-11 Biomarkers

    Measurement of tau in serum is feasible.

  3. CSF beta-amyloid 1-42 - what are we measuring in Alzheimer's disease?

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2014-12-19 Biomarkers

    CSF susAβ levels are influenced by biological and technical factors, and may represent a marker of Aβ susceptible to lipoprotein-mediated clearance.
