  1. Sex modifies APOE ε4 dose effect on brain tau deposition in cognitively impaired individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2021-11-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Recent studies in cognitively unimpaired elderly individuals suggest that the APOE ε4 allele exerts a dosage-dependent effect on brain tau deposition.

  2. Whole-genome sequencing suggests a chemokine gene cluster that modifies age at onset in familial Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2015-09-01 Genetics

    We have sequenced the complete genomes of 72 individuals affected with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease caused by an autosomal dominant, highly penetrant mutation in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene, and performed genome-wide association testing to identify variants that modify age at onset (AAO) of Alzheimer's disease.
