Journal ArticleDOI

Fifteen new risk loci for coronary artery disease highlight arterial-wall-specific mechanisms.

Joanna M. M. Howson, +74 more
- 22 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: 25 new SNP–CAD associations are identified from 15 genomic regions, including SNPs in or near genes involved in cellular adhesion, leukocyte migration and atherosclerosis, coagulation and inflammation and vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation, which sheds light on potential disease mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma levels of apolipoprotein E and risk of dementia in the general population

TL;DR: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease and dementia, but it remains unclear whether plasma levels of apoE confer additional risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma levels of apolipoprotein E, APOE genotype and risk of dementia and ischemic heart disease: A review.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the current epidemiological and biological evidence for an association of plasma levels of apoE with risk of dementia and ischemic heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absolute 10-year risk of dementia by age, sex and APOE genotype: a population-based cohort study.

TL;DR: Age, sex and APOE genotype robustly identify high-risk groups for Alzheimer disease and all dementia, and these groups can potentially be targeted for preventive interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma apolipoprotein E levels and risk of dementia: A Mendelian randomization study of 106,562 individuals

TL;DR: In recent prospective studies, low plasma levels of apolipoprotein E (apoE) are associated with high risk of dementia, but whether this reflects a causal association remains to be established.
