Mol Psychiatry . 2015 Mar; 21(1):108-17. PMID: 25778476
APOE ɛ4, the most significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease (AD), may mask effects of other loci. We re-analyzed genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from the International Genomics of...

Boada M, Antunez C, Ramirez-Lorca R, DeStefano A, Gonzalez-Perez A, Gayan J, et al.
Mol Psychiatry . 2013 Jul; 19(6):682-7. PMID: 23857120
To identify loci associated with Alzheimer disease, we conducted a three-stage analysis using existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genotyping in a new sample. In Stage I, all suggestive single-nucleotide...

Tobin J, Latourelle J, Lew M, Klein C, Suchowersky O, Shill H, et al.
Neurology . 2008 May; 71(1):28-34. PMID: 18509094
Background: Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) has been associated with several neurodegenerative disorders including forms of parkinsonism and Parkinson disease (PD). We evaluated the association of the MAPT region with PD...

Wilk J, Tobin J, Suchowersky O, Shill H, Klein C, Wooten G, et al.
Neurology . 2006 Dec; 67(12):2206-10. PMID: 17190945
Background: Polymorphisms in the glutathione S-transferase pi gene (GSTP1), encoding GSTP1-1, a detoxification enzyme, may increase the risk of Parkinson disease (PD) with exposure to pesticides. Using the GenePD Study...

Karamohamed S, Latourelle J, Racette B, Perlmutter J, Wooten G, Lew M, et al.
Neurology . 2005 Dec; 65(11):1823-5. PMID: 16344533
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) stimulates neuronal growth and protects nigral dopamine neurons in animal models of Parkinson disease (PD). Therefore, BDNF is a candidate gene for PD. The authors investigated...

Mov Disord . 2005 Jun; 20(9):1188-91. PMID: 15966003
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which relatives of the probands are affected approximately 4 times as frequently as relatives of control subjects. Several genes have been implicated...

Neurology . 2004 Aug; 63(4):664-8. PMID: 15326239
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSAH) has a strong heritable component, although its genetic basis remains largely unknown. One epidemiologic study found a significant association between the APOE epsilon4 allele and...
