Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of common variants influencing risk of the tauopathy progressive supranuclear palsy

Günter U. Höglinger, +140 more
- 01 Jul 2011 - 
TL;DR: Two independent variants in MAPT affecting risk for PSP are confirmed, one of which influences MAPT brain expression and the genes implicated encode proteins for vesicle-membrane fusion at the Golgi-endosomal interface and for a myelin structural component.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify new risk variants and the genetic architecture of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Wouter van Rheenen, +187 more
- 01 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: Evidence of ALS being a complex genetic trait with a polygenic architecture is established and the SNP-based heritability is estimated at 8.5%, with a distinct and important role for low-frequency variants (frequency 1–10%).
Journal ArticleDOI

Presymptomatic cognitive and neuroanatomical changes in genetic frontotemporal dementia in the Genetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI) study: a cross-sectional analysis

Jonathan D. Rohrer, +63 more
- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: Structural imaging and cognitive changes can be identified 5-10 years before expected onset of symptoms in asymptomatic adults at risk of genetic frontotemporal dementia, which could help to define biomarkers that can stage presymPTomatic disease and track disease progression.
