Polygenic hazard score, amyloid deposition and Alzheimer's neurodegeneration. Beyond APOE, polygenic hazard scores in living subjects were associated with amyloid deposition and neurodegeneration in susceptible brain regions. https://t.co/rtg0K69NGz @rahuldesikan @ADNI3study

"...these findings further suggest a nuanced relationship between polygenic risk and markers of amyloid deposition, pathological tau and neurodegeneration"

This is my own genetic data run on our tools - looks like I'd benefit from stem cells and oxidative therapies - this is the real potential for #Genomics for #ALS #treatments - we can do this and any #PALS #fightALS

new work from my laboratory

[Center for Precision Neuroimaging @PrecisionNeuro]

Our new findings suggest that subsets of ALS patients are at elevated genetic risk for FTD, cardiovascular, or immune dysfunction. Developing multiple pathway polygenic scores in this regard would be important for informing therapies.

Hello! I have written an explainer on genome-wide association studies and genetic risk.
