  1. Synaptogenic effect of APP-Swedish mutation in familial Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Science translational medicine 2022-10-19 Treatments

    Mutations in β-amyloid (Aβ) precursor protein ( APP ) cause familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) probably by enhancing Aβ peptides production from APP.

  2. Dementia Diagnosis Is Associated with Changes in Antidiabetic Drug Prescription: An Open-Cohort Study of ∼130,000 Swedish Subjects over 14 Years

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 60 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2020-01-01 Drug development

    Dementia patients had lower probability of receiving newer antidiabetic drugs, with simultaneous higher insulin dispensation compared to dementia-free subjects.

  3. Vitamin D deficiency was common among nursing home residents and associated with dementia: a cross sectional study of 545 Swedish nursing home residents

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. BMC geriatrics 2017-10-10 Biomarkers

    Vitamin D deficiency was common among nursing home residents and strongly associated with dementia.

  4. The PSEN1 I143T mutation in a Swedish family with Alzheimer's disease: clinical report and quantification of Aβ in different brain regions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2010-07-14 Biomarkers

    Early-onset dominantly inherited forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are rare, but studies of such cases have revealed important information about the disease mechanisms.

  5. The Swedish mutation causes early-onset Alzheimer's disease by beta-secretase cleavage within the secretory pathway

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Nature medicine 1995-12-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Several missense mutations causing early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been described in the gene coding for the beta-amyloid precursor protein (beta APP).
