APOE and Alzheimer disease: a major gene with semi-dominant inheritance

TL;DR: Apolipoprotein E (APOE) dependent lifetime risks (LTRs) for Alzheimer Disease (AD) are currently not accurately known and odds ratios alone are insufficient to assess these risks as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

APP duplication is sufficient to cause early onset Alzheimer's dementia with cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

TL;DR: It is indicated that APP locus duplications explained <2% of familial, non-autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease and are an infrequent cause of de novo mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potent amyloidogenicity and pathogenicity of Aβ43

TL;DR: The authors showed that Aβ43 showed a higher propensity to aggregate and was more neurotoxic than Aβ42, and other pathogenic presenilin mutations also caused overproduction of Aβ 43 in a manner correlating with Aβ 42 and with the age of disease onset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular genetics of Alzheimer's disease: an update.

TL;DR: An overview of the current understanding in the field of AD genetics, covering both the rare monogenic forms as well as recent developments in the search for novel AD susceptibility genes is provided.
