Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease

Jean-Charles Lambert, +215 more
- 01 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: In addition to the APOE locus (encoding apolipoprotein E), 19 loci reached genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) in the combined stage 1 and stage 2 analysis, of which 11 are newly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at MS4A4/MS4A6E, CD2AP, CD33 and EPHA1 are associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Adam C. Naj, +156 more
- 01 May 2011 - 
TL;DR: The Alzheimer Disease Genetics Consortium performed a genome-wide association study of late-onset Alzheimer disease using a three-stage design consisting of a discovery stage (stage 1), two replication stages (stages 2 and 3), and both joint analysis and meta-analysis approaches were used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-wide analysis detects two new susceptibility genes for Alzheimer's disease.

Valentina Escott-Price, +194 more
- 12 Jun 2014 - 
TL;DR: The additional genes identified in this study, have an array of functions previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including aspects of energy metabolism, protein degradation and the immune system and add further weight to these pathways as potential therapeutic targets in Alzheimers disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common variants at 30 loci contribute to polygenic dyslipidemia.

Sekar Kathiresan, +68 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that the cumulative effect of multiple common variants contributes to polygenic dyslipidemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuronal sortilin-related receptor SORL1 is genetically associated with Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: It is reported here that inherited variants in the SORL1 neuronal sorting receptor are associated with late-onset Alzheimer disease, and it is shown that SOR l1 directs trafficking of APP into recycling pathways and that when SORl1 is underexpressed, APP is sorted into Aβ-generating compartments.
