Differential susceptibility to adolescent externalizing trajectories: examining the interplay between CHRM2 and peer group antisocial behavior.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that relative to a normative "lower risk" externalizing trajectory, likelihood of membership in two "higher risk" trajectories increased with each additional copy of the minor allelic variant at CHRM2, and that this association was exacerbated among those exposed to higher levels of peer group antisocial behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shared genetic contribution to ischemic stroke and Alzheimer's disease

Matthew Traylor, +208 more
- 01 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the evidence that shared genetic factors underpin the two diseases and found evidence of a shared genetic contribution between Alzheimer's disease and small vessel stroke (rG [standard error] 0.37 [0.17] and p 0.011).
Journal ArticleDOI

Alzheimer's-associated PU.1 expression levels regulate microglial inflammatory response.

TL;DR: Several microglial responses that are modulated byPU.1 expression levels are identified and proposed that risk association of PU.1 to AD is driven by increased pro-inflammatory response due to increased viability of cells under cytotoxic conditions, which supports the protective effect of SPI1 genotype in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

SNP analysis to dissect human traits.

TL;DR: The use of 'reduced representation shotgun' methods for more efficient detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the employment of high-throughput genotyping techniques, the development of SNP maps that incorporate information about linkage disequilibrium, and the use of SNPs in identifying susceptibility genes for common illnesses are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A potential endophenotype for Alzheimer's disease: cerebrospinal fluid clusterin

TL;DR: Gene ontology analyses suggest that CSF CLU levels may be associated with wound healing and immune response which supports previous functional studies that demonstrated an association between CLU and IL6.
