  1. Rare mutations in SQSTM1 modify susceptibility to frontotemporal lobar degeneration

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 86 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2014-06-05 Genetics

    Mutations in the gene coding for Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) have been genetically associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Paget disease of bone.

  2. Susceptibility locus for Alzheimer's disease on chromosome 10

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Science (New York, N.Y.) 2000-12-01 Genetics

    The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is the only genetic risk factor that has so far been linked to risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD).

  3. Modulation of amyloid beta-protein clearance and Alzheimer's disease susceptibility by the LDL receptor-related protein pathway

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. The Journal of clinical investigation 2000-11-01 Genetics

    Susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is governed by multiple genetic factors.

  4. Isoform-specific effects of human apolipoprotein E on brain function revealed in ApoE knockout mice: increased susceptibility of females

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 1998-09-01 Genetics

    Apolipoprotein E (apoE) mediates the redistribution of lipids among cells and is expressed at highest levels in brain and liver.
