Common variants in Alzheimer's disease and risk stratification by polygenic ris...
de Rojas, Itziar; Moreno-Grau, Sonia; Tesi, Niccolo; Grenier-Boley, Benjamin; Andrade, Victor; Jansen, Iris E.; Pedersen, Nancy L.; Stringa, NajadaGenetic discoveries of Alzheimer's disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical trials. We first perform a large genetic association study by merging all available case-control datasets and by-proxy study results (discovery n = 409,435 and validation size n = 58,190). Her...
Association of a CAMK2A genetic variant with logical memory performance and hip...
Rhein, Cosima; Mühle, Christiane; Lenz, Bernd; Richter-Schmidinger, Tanja; Kogias, Georgios; Boix, Fernando; Lourdusamy, Anbarasu; Dörfler, ArndCalcium/Calmodulin-dependent kinase alpha (αCaMKII) has been shown to play an essential role in synaptic plasticity and in learning and memory in animal models. However, there is little evidence for an involvement in specific memories in humans. Here we tested the potential involvement of the αCaMKII coding gene CAMK2A in verbal logical memory in two Caucasian populations from Germany, in a sample of 209 elderl...
Biomarker-based prognosis for people with mild cognitive impairment (ABIDE) : a...
van Maurik, Ingrid S; Vos, Stephanie J.; Bos, Isabelle; Bouwman, Femke H; Teunissen, Charlotte E.; Scheltens, Philip; Barkhof, Frederik; Frolich, LutzBackground: Biomarker-based risk predictions of dementia in people with mild cognitive impairment are highly relevant for care planning and to select patients for treatment when disease-modifying drugs become available. We aimed to establish robust prediction models of disease progression in people at risk of dementia. Methods: In this modelling study, we included people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) fro...

The frequency and influence of dementia risk factors in prodromal Alzheimer's d...
Bos, Isabelle; Vos, Stephanie J.; Frölich, Lutz; Kornhuber, Johannes; Wiltfang, Jens; Maier, Wolfgang; Peters, Oliver; Rüther, EckhartWe investigated whether dementia risk factors were associated with prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD) according to the International Working Group-2 and National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer's Association criteria, and with cognitive decline. A total of 1394 subjects with mild cognitive impairment from 14 different studies were classified according to these research criteria, based on cognitive performance and ...
Prevalence of cerebral amyloid pathology in persons without dementia
Jansen, Willemijn J.; Ossenkoppele, Rik; Knol, Dirk L.; Tijms, Betty M.; Scheltens, Philip; Verhey, Frans R. J.; Visser, Pieter Jelle; Aalten, PaulineImportance: Cerebral amyloid-β aggregation is an early pathological event in Alzheimer disease (AD), starting decades before dementia onset. Estimates of the prevalence of amyloid pathology in persons without dementia are needed to understand the development of AD and to design prevention studies. Objective: To use individual participant data meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of amyloid pathology as meas...
Prevalence and prognosis of Alzheimer’s disease at the mild cognitive impairmen...
Vos, Stephanie J. B.; Verhey, Frans; Frölich, Lutz; Kornhuber, Johannes; Wiltfang, Jens; Maier, Wolfgang; Peters, Oliver; Rüther, Eckart; Nobili, FlavioThree sets of research criteria are available for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in subjects with mild cognitive impairment: the International Working Group-1, International Working Group-2, and National Institute of Aging-Alzheimer Association criteria. We compared the prevalence and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease at the mild cognitive impairment stage according to these criteria. Subjects with mild cognit...
