GWAS of 126,559 Individuals Identifies Genetic Variants Associated with Educational Attainment

Cornelius A. Rietveld, +230 more
- 21 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of educational attainment was conducted in a discovery sample of 101,069 individuals and a replication sample of 25,490 individuals, and three independent SNPs are genome wide significant (rs9320913, rs11584700, rs4851266).
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of Dementia Among White and African American Relatives of Patients With Alzheimer Disease

TL;DR: First-degree relatives of African Americans with AD have a higher cumulative risk of dementia than do those of whites with AD, and the patterns of risk among first-degree biological relatives stratified by APOE genotype of the probands were similar in white families and African American families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postmenopausal hormone therapy and Alzheimer's disease risk: interaction with age

TL;DR: The observational findings are consistent with the view that HT may protect younger women from AD or reduce the risk of early onset forms of AD, or that HT used during the early postmenopause may reduce AD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Genome-Wide Approach to Children's Aggressive Behavior: The EAGLE consortium

TL;DR: It is concluded that common variants at 2p12 show suggestive evidence for association with childhood aggression, and further studies should clarify its biological meaning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at 6q22 and 17q21 are associated with intracranial volume

M. Arfan Ikram, +168 more
- 15 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: The data identify two loci associated with head size, with the inversion at 17q21 also likely to be involved in attaining maximal brain size.
