Alzheimer disease genetic risk factor APOE e4, and cognitive abilities in 111,739 UK Biobank participants [PDF]
Background: the apolipoprotein (APOE) e4 locus is a genetic risk factor for dementia. Carriers of the e4 allele may be more vulnerable to conditions that are independent risk factors for cognitive decline, such as cardiometabolic diseases.

microRNAs and genetic diseases [PDF]
Abstract microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNAs (19-25 nucleotides in length) processed from double-stranded hairpin precursors. They negatively regulate gene expression in animals, by binding, with imperfect base pairing, to target sites in messenger RNAs (usually in 3' untranslated regions) thereby either reducing translational ...

Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia: highly atherogenic and underdiagnosed disorder
Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is a genetic, highly atherogenic disorder. The penetrance of FD depends on the patient’s lifestyle and concomitant diseases. Despite the fact that FD was described almost half a century ago, it is still insufficiently

The Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that represents a growing global health crisis. Two major forms of the disease exist: early onset (familial) and late onset (sporadic). Early onset Alzheimer’s is rare, accounting for less than 5% of disease burden.

There is no question that the rapid advance in genetic technology is changing our viewpoint on medical practice, which is dramatically improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of human genetic disease. In particular, the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, such as exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing, and gene editing ...
