Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume

Derrek P. Hibar, +432 more
TL;DR: It is shown that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg=−0.155), and these findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampus volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness.

Homocysteine and Short-term Risk of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in the Elderly

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that among elderly subjects an elevated homocysteine level is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early adult to midlife cardiovascular risk factors and cognitive function.

TL;DR: C cumulative exposure to CVRFs from early to middle adulthood, especially above recommended guidelines, was associated with worse cognition in midlife, and the meaning of this association and whether it warrants more aggressive treatment of CVRF exposure earlier in life require further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at 12q14 and 12q24 are associated with hippocampal volume

Joshua C. Bis, +96 more
- 15 Apr 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of dementia-free persons (n = 9,232) identified 46 SNPs at four loci with P values of <4.0 × 10(-7).
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association studies of cerebral white matter lesion burden: the CHARGE consortium.

Myriam Fornage, +66 more
- 01 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: White matter hyperintensities detectable by magnetic resonance imaging are part of the spectrum of vascular injury associated with aging of the brain and are thought to reflect ischemic damage to the small deep cerebral vessels.
