DOI: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2020.02.008
Abstract: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) have a high proportion of genetically determined cases. Next-generation sequencing technologies have triggered the discovery of new mutations and genetic variants in dementia-causal genes. We performed whole-exome… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/ehaa946.2994
Abstract: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is genetically very heterogeneous and genomic and locus-specific public databases describing putative FH mutations are assumed to be of limited clinical utility because of classification errors. A description of all currently known… read more here.
