  1. The heritability of blood-based biomarkers related to risk of Alzheimer's disease in a population-based sample of early old-age men

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-08-25 Biomarkers

    Except for Aβ42/40, plasma biomarkers are heritable.

  2. Longitudinal changes in the frequency of mosaic chromosome Y loss in peripheral blood cells of aging men varies profoundly between individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2019-10-25 Genetics

    Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY) is the most common somatic genetic aberration and is associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality, various forms of cancer and Alzheimer's disease, as well as other common human diseases.

  3. Vitamin D is not associated with incident dementia or cognitive impairment: an 18-y follow-up study in community-living old men

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. The American journal of clinical nutrition 2017-02-15 Genetics

    The mean ± SD plasma 25(OH)D concentration was 68.7 ± 19.1 nmol/L. Plasma 25(OH)D, dietary vitamin D intake, and vitamin D-synthesis GRS were not associated with any cognitive outcomes (crude and adjusted HRs and ORs were ∼1.0 for all continuous exposures).

  4. Genetic analysis of Alzheimer's disease in the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders 2009-01-14 Genetics

    Genetic factors influencing common complex conditions have proven difficult to identify, and data from numerous investigations have provided incomplete conclusions as to the identity of these genes.
