Genome-wide analysis of common and rare variants via multiple knockoffs at biobank scale, with an application to Alzheimer disease genetics

Zihuai He et al.

Summary: Knockoff-based methods are popular for locus discovery and prioritizing causal variants. The proposed KnockoffScreen-AL method is scalable for analyzing common and rare variants in large biobank studies, successfully identifying significant loci in Alzheimer's disease. Multi-omics analyses validated genes at these loci, highlighting potential causal gene EGFR in AD progression.

Alzheimer's disease

Philip Scheltens et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is projected to see a significant increase in prevalence in the future, with genetics playing a key role. Novel biomarkers and lifestyle-based prevention trials show promising therapeutic potential. Promising pharmacological treatments are advancing in clinical trials, targeting amyloid beta, tau, and inflammation.

Ethnic and trans-ethnic genome-wide association studies identify new loci influencing Japanese Alzheimer's disease risk

Daichi Shigemizu et al.

Summary: The study identified 7 new susceptibility loci for AD, with FAM47E being associated with AD for the first time in the Japanese population. Additionally, a trans-ethnic meta-analysis revealed a new susceptibility locus, OR2B2. This highlights the importance of conducting GWAS in non-European populations.

Brain insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 and glucagon-like peptide 1 signalling in Alzheimer's disease

Sergio T. Ferreira

Summary: The brain's insulin signalling plays a crucial role in neuronal health and cognition, with defective signalling associated with neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies have shed light on mechanisms of neuronal insulin resistance as a key driver of cognitive impairment in AD. Impaired IGF-1 signalling in AD is also a significant focus of investigation for potential therapeutic approaches.

Prediction of Alzheimer's disease using multi-variants from a Chinese genome-wide association study

Longfei Jia et al.

Summary: This study validated predictive models based on genome-wide association studies for assessing the risk of Alzheimer's disease onset in a large Chinese population. These models effectively predicted Alzheimer's disease onset in individuals carrying risk variants, confirming the contribution of these identified variants to disease pathogenesis.
