  1. Our study provides new insights into the etiology and underlying genetic architecture of AD.

  2. Gene-wide analysis detects two new susceptibility genes for Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. PloS one 2014-06-12 Genetics

    The additional genes identified in this study, have an array of functions previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including aspects of energy metabolism, protein degradation and the immune system and add further weight to these pathways as potential therapeutic targets in Alzheimer's disease.

  3. The pursuit of susceptibility genes for Alzheimer's disease: progress and prospects

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Trends in genetics : TIG 2010-01-18 Genetics

    The recent discoveries in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of novel susceptibility loci (CLU, CR1 and PICALM) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have elicited considerable interest in the AD community.
