Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease

Jean-Charles Lambert, +215 more
- 01 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: In addition to the APOE locus (encoding apolipoprotein E), 19 loci reached genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) in the combined stage 1 and stage 2 analysis, of which 11 are newly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-wide analysis detects two new susceptibility genes for Alzheimer's disease.

Valentina Escott-Price, +194 more
- 12 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: The additional genes identified in this study, have an array of functions previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including aspects of energy metabolism, protein degradation and the immune system and add further weight to these pathways as potential therapeutic targets in Alzheimers disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease

Rebecca Sims, +487 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: Three new genome-wide significant nonsynonymous variants associated with Alzheimer's disease are observed, providing additional evidence that the microglia-mediated innate immune response contributes directly to the development of Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

Céline Bellenguez, +401 more
- 01 Apr 2022 - 
TL;DR: This paper performed a two-stage genome-wide association study with 111,326 clinically diagnosed/proxy AD cases and 677,663 controls and found 75 risk loci, of which 42 were new at the time of analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic variants in the CLDN2 and PRSS1-PRSS2 loci alter risk for alcohol-related and sporadic pancreatitis

David C. Whitcomb, +201 more
- 01 Dec 2012 - 
TL;DR: Two associations at genome-wide significance identified and replicated at PRSS1-PRSS2 and X-linked CLDN2 are reported and could partially explain the high frequency of alcohol-related pancreatitis in men.
