New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

Celine Bellenguez et al.

Summary: By characterizing the genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, new loci have been identified and a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future Alzheimer's disease and dementia has been generated.

Sex Disparities in MGMT Promoter Methylation and Survival in Glioblastoma: Further Evidence from Clinical Cohorts

Anja Smits et al.

Summary: In IDHwt glioblastoma, there is a higher proportion of MGMT promoter methylation in female patients, leading to a better treatment response. Therefore, patient sex and MGMT promoter methylation are key determinants that should be considered before making treatment decisions.

Integrative brain transcriptome analysis links complement component 4 and HSPA2 to the APOE epsilon 2 protective effect in Alzheimer disease

Rebecca Panitch et al.

Summary: The study found that the protective effect of APOE ε2 against Alzheimer's disease may be related to the complement pathway, involving genes such as C4A, C4B, and HSPA2. An AD-specific co-expression network was identified in APOE ε2/ε3 carriers, primarily associated with tau pathology.

Extensive pleiotropism and allelic heterogeneity mediate metabolic effects of IRX3 and IRX5

Debora R. Sobreira et al.

Summary: This study identified a genomic region within the FTO gene that is strongly associated with obesity risk, where multiple variants on a common haplotype modify the regulatory properties of several enhancers targeting IRX3 and IRX5 from megabase distances. These enhancers affect gene expression in multiple tissues, including adipose and brain, and impart regulatory effects during a restricted temporal window. The findings suggest that disease-associated loci may involve extensive pleiotropy, allelic heterogeneity, shared allelic effects across tissues, and temporally restricted effects.

2021 Alzheimer's disease facts and figures

[Anonymous]

Summary: Alzheimer's disease has a significant impact on individuals and society as a whole, with a large number of patients in the United States and a potential for continued growth in the future. The value of unpaid caregivers has increased despite a decline in their numbers, and healthcare costs are on the rise. Racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare persist, highlighting the need for greater diversity in dementia care workforce and clinical trials.
