  1. Genome-wide survival study identifies a novel synaptic locus and polygenic score for cognitive progression in Parkinson's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 78 out of 100. Nature genetics 2021-05-06 Genetics

    A key driver of patients' well-being and clinical trials for Parkinson's disease (PD) is the course that the disease takes over time (progression and prognosis).

  2. Polygenic score prediction captures nearly all common genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2016-08-05 Genetics

    We estimate the maximum prediction accuracy for the risk of Alzheimer's disease based on disease prevalence and heritability of liability.
