Genome-wide association studies in Alzheimer's disease (2009)

Bertram, Lars, Tanzi, Rudolph E.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have gained considerable momentum over the last couple of years for the identification of novel complex disease genes. In the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD),...

Genetic Research in Schizophrenia: New Tools and Future Perspectives (2008)

Bertram, Lars

Genetically, schizophrenia is a complex disease whose pathogenesis is likely governed by a number of different risk factors. While substantial efforts have been made to identify the underlying...

Alzheimer's Disease: One Disorder, Too Many Genes? (2004)

Bertram, Lars, Tanzi, Rudolph E.

The research of Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetics has been extremely prolific over the past decade, and currently more than ten genes are reported to show either positive or negative evidence for...

Alzheimer's disease: one disorder, too many genes? (2004)

Bertram, Lars, Tanzi, Rudolph E.

The research of Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetics has been extremely prolific over the past decade, and currently more than 10 genes are reported to show either positive or negative evidence for...

A QTL genome scan of the metabolic syndrome and its component traits (2003)

McQueen, Matthew B, Bertram, Lars, Rimm, Eric B, Blacker, Deborah, Santangelo, Susan L

Abstract Background Because high blood pressure, altered lipid levels, obesity, and diabetes so frequently occur together, they are sometimes collectively referred to as the metabolic syndrome. While...

Genetic Association of Alzheimer's Disease with Multiple Polymorphisms in Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (2003)

Saunders, Aleister J, Bertram, Lars, Mullin, Kristina, Sampson, Andrew J, Latifzai, Khushal, Basu, Sanjay, ...

Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (A2M) is a highly plausible candidate gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a region of chromosome 12 that has numerous independent reports of genetic linkage. We previously...
