A deep learning model for early prediction of Alzheimer's disease dementia based on hippocampal MRI [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Introduction: It is challenging at baseline to predict when and which individuals who meet criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) will ultimately progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. Methods: A deep learning method is developed and validated based on MRI scans of 2146 subjects (803 for training and 1343 for validation) to predict MCI ...

Polygenic risk and pleiotropy in neurodegenerative diseases

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2020
In this paper we explore the phenomenon of pleiotropy in neurodegenerative diseases, focusing on Alzheimer's disease (AD). We summarize the various techniques developed to investigate pleiotropy among traits, elaborating in the polygenic risk scores (PRS)
