    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Nature communications 2021-06-28 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Neuroinflammation is associated with Alzheimer's disease, but the application of cerebrospinal fluid measures of inflammatory proteins may be limited by overlapping pathways and relationships between them.

  3. Genetic diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease: challenges and opportunities

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Expert review of molecular diagnostics 2015-01-29 Genetics

    Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia in western societies, is a pathologically and clinically heterogeneous disease with a strong genetic component.
