Meta-analysis identifies multiple loci associated with kidney function–related traits in east Asian populations

Yukinori Okada, +414 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function–related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN), identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twenty-seven-year time trends in dementia incidence in Europe and the United States: The Alzheimer Cohorts Consortium.

TL;DR: The incidence rate of dementia in Europe and North America has declined by 13% per decade over the past 25 years, consistently across studies, and somewhat more pronouncedly in men than in women.

GWAS for executive function and processing speed suggests involvement of the CADM2 gene

Carla A. Ibrahim-Verbaas, +125 more
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of executive functioning and information processing speed in non-demented older adults from the CHARGE consortium suggests that genetic variation in the CADM2 gene is associated with individual differences in informationprocessing speed.
