Altered plasma protein profiles in genetic FTD – a GENFI study
Ullgren, Abbe; Öijerstedt, Linn; Olofsson, Jennie; Bergström, Sofia; Remnestål, Julia; van Swieten, John C.; Jiskoot, Lize C.; Seelaar, HarroBackground: Plasma biomarkers reflecting the pathology of frontotemporal dementia would add significant value to clinical practice, to the design and implementation of treatment trials as well as our understanding of disease mechanisms. The aim of this study was to explore the levels of multiple plasma proteins in individuals from families with genetic frontotemporal dementia. Methods: Blood samples from 693 pa...
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...
