Basal forebrain volume, but not hippocampal volume, is a predictor of global cognitive decline in patients with alzheimer's disease treated with cholinesterase inhibitors
(2018)Background: Predicting the progression of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is important for treatment selection and patient counseling. Structural MRI markers such as hippocampus or basal forebrain volumes ... -

Biological overlap of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder: evidence from copy number variants.
(2014)Objective Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often co-occur and share genetic risks. The aim of this analysis was to determine more broadly whether ADHD and ASD share ... -
Brain Aβ load association and sexual dimorphism of plasma BACE1 concentrations in cognitively normal individuals at risk for AD
(2019)Introduction: Successful development of effective β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1)–targeted therapies for early stages of Alzheimer's disease requires biomarker-guided intervention strategies ... -
Brain vs Behavior: An Effect Size Comparison of Neuroimaging and Cognitive Studies of Genetic Risk for Schizophrenia.
(2013)Genetic variants associated with increased risk for schizophrenia (SZ) are hypothesized to be more penetrant at the level of brain structure and function than at the level of behavior. However, to date the relative sensitivity ... -
A "Candidate-Interactome" Aggregate Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Data in Multiple Sclerosis
(2013)Though difficult, the study of gene-environment interactions in multifactorial diseases is crucial for interpreting the relevance of non-heritable factors and prevents from overlooking genetic associations with small but ... -
Category fluency, latent semantic analysis and schizophrenia: a candidate gene approach
(2014)Background Category fluency is a widely used task that relies on multiple neurocognitive processes and is a sensitive assay of cortical dysfunction, including in schizophrenia. The test requires naming of as many words ... -
Cigarette smoking and psychotic symptoms in bipolar affective disorder
(The Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2001)Background An association exists between smoking and schizophrenia, independent of other factors and related to psychotic symptomatology. Aims To determine whether smoking is associated with psychosis in bipolar affective ... -
Classical Human Leukocyte Antigen Alleles and C4 Haplotypes Are Not Significantly Associated With Depression
(2020)BACKGROUND: The prevalence of depression is higher in individuals with autoimmune diseases, but the mechanisms underlying the observed comorbidities are unknown. Shared genetic etiology is a plausible explanation for ... -
Clinical and Genetic Rett Syndrome Variants are Defined by Stable Electrophysiological Profiles
(2018)Background: Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a complex neuro developmental disorder, frequently associated with epilepsy. Despite increasing recognition of the clinical heterogeneity of RTT and its variants (e.g Classical, Hanefeld ... -
Combined Analysis from Eleven Linkage Studies of Bipolar Disorder Provides Strong Evidence of Susceptibility Loci on Chromosomes 6q and 8q
(Elsevier, 2005)Several independent studies and meta-analyses aimed at identifying genomic regions linked to bipolar disorder (BP) have failed to find clear and consistent evidence of linkage regions. Our hypothesis is that combining the ... -
Comment on "Nuclear genomic sequences reveal that polar bears are an old and distinct bear lineage".
(2013)Based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, Hailer et al. (Reports, 20 April 2012, p. 344) suggested early divergence of polar bears from a common ancestor with brown bears and subsequent introgression. Our population genetic ... -
Common polygenic variation in coeliac disease and confirmation of ZNF335 and NIFA as disease susceptibility loci
(2016)Coeliac disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated disease triggered by the ingestion of gluten. It has an estimated prevalence of approximately 1% in European populations. Specific HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 alleles are established ...
