  1. Alzheimer's polygenic risk scores are associated with cognitive phenotypes in Down syndrome

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-10-19 Biomarkers

    These data indicate that the AD genetic architecture influences cognitive and CSF phenotypes in DS adults, supporting common pathways that influence memory decline in both traits.

  2. Independent study demonstrates amyloid probability score accurately indicates amyloid pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Annals of clinical and translational neurology 2023-03-28 Biomarkers

    The study shows individuals with a high APS are more likely than those with a low APS to have abnormal amounts of amyloid plaques and be on an amyloid accumulation trajectory, a dynamic and evolving process characteristic of progressive AD pathology.

  3. Association of Polygenic Risk Score with Age at Onset and Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease in a Chinese Cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Neuroscience bulletin 2020-02-18 Biomarkers

    To evaluate whether the polygenic profile modifies the development of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD) and pathological biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), 462 sAD patients and 463 age-matched cognitively normal (CN) controls were genotyped for 35 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are significantly associated with sAD.

  4. Erlangen Score as a tool to predict progression from mild cognitive impairment to dementia in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2019-01-05 Biomarkers

    Our current results reconfirm and extend the conclusions of the previously published report that the Erlangen Score is a useful tool facilitating interpretation of a complex pattern of the CSF AD biomarkers.
