Journal ArticleDOI

Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease

Rebecca Sims, +487 more
- 01 Sep 2017 - 
TL;DR: Three new genome-wide significant nonsynonymous variants associated with Alzheimer's disease are observed, providing additional evidence that the microglia-mediated innate immune response contributes directly to the development of Alzheimer's Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frontotemporal dementia and its subtypes: a genome-wide association study

Raffaele Ferrari, +181 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that immune system processes (link to 6p21.3) and possibly lysosomal and autophagy pathways ( link to 11q14) are potentially involved in FTD.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel Alzheimer disease locus located near the gene encoding tau protein

Gyungah Jun, +450 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: The authors' APOE-stratified GWAS is the first to show GWS association for AD with SNPs in the chromosome 17q21.31 region, and the finding in the stage 1 sample that AD risk is significantly influenced by the interaction of APOE with TMEM106B (P=1·6 × 10−7) is noteworthy, because TMEM 106B variants have previously been associated with risk of frontotemporal dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic analysis implicates APOE, SNCA and suggests lysosomal dysfunction in the etiology of Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

TL;DR: It is indicated that DLB has a unique genetic risk profile when compared with the two most common neurodegenerative diseases and that the lysosome may play an important role in the etiology of this disorder.
