  1. Alzheimer's Disease Risk Polymorphisms Regulate Gene Expression in the ZCWPW1 and the CELF1 Loci

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2016-02-26 Genetics

    Late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a genetically complex and clinically heterogeneous disease.

  2. Hypovitaminosis D3, Leukopenia, and Human Serotonin Transporter Polymorphism in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Mediators of inflammation 2016-01-24 Biomarkers

    Vitamin D3 has been described to have different extraskeletal roles by acting as parahormone in obesity, diabetes, cancer, cognitive impairment, and dementia and to have important regulatory functions in innate immunity.

  3. A TOMM40 variable-length polymorphism predicts the age of late-onset Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. The pharmacogenomics journal 2009-12-22 Genetics

    The ɛ4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is currently the strongest and most highly replicated genetic factor for risk and age of onset of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).

  4. Impact of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism on brain ApoE levels

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience 2008-11-01 Genetics

    Inheritance of the apoE4 allele (epsilon4) increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease; however, the mechanisms underlying this association remain elusive.

  5. Myeloperoxidase polymorphism is associated with gender specific risk for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Experimental neurology 1999-01-01 Genetics

    Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a myeloid-specific enzyme that generates hypochlorous acid and other reactive oxygen species.
