Journal ArticleDOI

Validating predicted biological effects of Alzheimer's disease associated SNPs using CSF biomarker levels.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the minor allele of rs2986017, in CALHM1, is marginally associated with CSF Aβ42 levels, consistent with previous reports that this non-synonymous coding substitution results in increased Aβ levels in vitro and provides support for an Aβ-related mechanism for modulating risk for Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Tale of Two Genes: Microglial Apoe and Trem2.

TL;DR: A gene expression signature associated with an APOE- and TREM2-dependent response of microglia to brain tissue damage that accumulates in aging and disease is described, defining an axis that might be amenable to therapeutic targeting.
