  1. A large-scale genome-wide cross-trait analysis reveals shared genetic architecture between Alzheimer's disease and gastrointestinal tract disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 83 out of 100. Communications biology 2022-07-18 Genetics

    Consistent with the concept of the gut-brain phenomenon, observational studies suggest a relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders; however, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

  2. Our findings provide novel insights into the genetic determinants of LBD and the shared genetic etiology and biological mechanisms of LBD, AD, and PD, which could benefit the understanding of the co-pathology as well as the potential treatment of these diseases simultaneously.

  3. Shared genetic etiology underlying Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Translational psychiatry 2020-03-09 Genetics

    Patients with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) frequently manifest comorbid neuropsychiatric symptoms with depression and anxiety being most frequent, and individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) have an increased prevalence of LOAD.

  4. Shared genetic risk between corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, and frontotemporal dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2017-03-07 Genetics

    Corticobasal degeneration (CBD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and a subset of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by tau inclusions in neurons and glia (tauopathies).

  5. Shared genetic contribution to Ischaemic Stroke and Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2016-02-23 Genetics

    Our findings indicate shared genetic susceptibility to AD and small vessel stroke and highlight potential causal pathways and loci.

  6. Shared genetic etiology underlying Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 64 out of 100. Molecular aspects of medicine 2015-06-23 Genetics

    Epidemiological evidence supports the observation that subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at higher risk to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD).
