  1. PICALM and Alzheimer's Disease: An Update and Perspectives

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Cells 2022-12-10 Genetics

    Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified the PICALM (Phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin-assembly protein) gene as the most significant genetic susceptibility locus after APOE and BIN1 .

  2. The Role of PICALM in Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Molecular neurobiology 2014-09-04 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly heritable disease (with heritability up to 76%) with a complex genetic profile of susceptibility, among which large genome-wide association studies (GWASs) pointed to the phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) gene as a susceptibility locus for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) incidence.

  3. Genetics of PICALM expression and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2014-03-11 Genetics

    Novel Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors have been identified by genome-wide association studies.

  4. PICALM gene rs3851179 polymorphism contributes to Alzheimer's disease in an Asian population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Neuromolecular medicine 2013-04-10 Genetics

    PICALM gene rs3851179 polymorphism was reported to an Alzheimer's disease (AD) susceptibility locus in a Caucasian population.

  5. Polymorphisms of CR1, CLU and PICALM confer susceptibility of Alzheimer's disease in a southern Chinese population

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2011-10-19 Genetics

    In this case-controlled study, we tested susceptible genetic variants for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in CR1, CLU and PICALM from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a southern Chinese population.

  6. Evidence of the association of BIN1 and PICALM with the AD risk in contrasting European populations

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2011-01-08 Genetics

    Recent genome-wide association studies have identified 5 loci (BIN1, CLU, CR1, EXOC3L2, and PICALM) as genetic determinants of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
