    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. eNeuro 2016-05-01 Genetics

    Variants at 21 genetic loci have been associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Choroidal thinning as a new finding in Alzheimer's disease: evidence from enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2014-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Compared with healthy subjects, patients with AD showed a significant reduction in choroidal thickness.
