Item Convergent genetic and expression data implicate immunity in Alzheimer's disease(Elsevier, 2015-06) Jones, Lesley; Lambert, Jean-Charles; Wang, Li-San; Choi, Seung-Hoan; Harold, Denise; Vedernikov, Alexey; Escott-Price, Valentina; Stone, Timothy; Richards, Alexander; Bellenguez, Céline; Ibrahim-Verbaas, Carla A.; Naj, Adam C.; Sims, Rebecca; Gerrish, Amy; Jun, Gyungah; DeStefano, Anita L.; Bis, Joshua C.; Beecham, Gary W.; Grenier-Boley, Benjamin; Russo, Giancarlo; Thornton-Wells, Tricia A.; Jones, Nicola; Smith, Albert V.; Chouraki, Vincent; Thomas, Charlene; Ikram, M.

To identify the biology underlying the disease we extended these genetic data in a pathway analysis. Methods The ALIGATOR and GSEA algorithms were used in the IGAP data to identify associated functional pathways and correlated gene expression networks in human brain. Results ALIGATOR identified an excess of curated biological pathways showing enrichment of association. Enriched areas of biology included the immune response (p = 3.27×10-12 after multiple testing correction for pathways), regulation of endocytosis (p = 1.31×10-11), cholesterol transport (p = 2.96 × 10-9) and proteasome-ubiquitin activity (p = 1.34×10-6). Correlated gene expression analysis identified four significant network modules, all related to the immune response (corrected p 0.002 – 0.05). Conclusions The immune response, regulation of endocytosis, cholesterol transport and protein ubiquitination represent prime targets for AD therapeutics.Item Linkage analyses in Caribbean Hispanic families identify novel loci associated with familial late-onset Alzheimer's disease(Elsevier, 2015-12) Barral, Sandra; Cheng, Rong; Reitz, Christiane; Vardarajan, Badri; Lee, Joseph; Kunkle, Brian; Beecham, Gary; Cantwell, Laura S.; Pericak-Vance, Margaret A.; Farrer, Lindsay A.; Haines, Jonathan L.; Goate, Alison M.; Foroud, Tatiana; Boerwinkle, Eric; Schellenberg, Gerard D.; Mayeux, Richard; Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, IU School of MedicineINTRODUCTION: We performed linkage analyses in Caribbean Hispanic families with multiple late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) cases to identify regions that may contain disease causative variants. METHODS: We selected 67 LOAD families to perform genome-wide linkage scan. Analysis of the linked regions was repeated using the entire sample of 282 families. Validated chromosomal regions were analyzed using joint linkage and association. RESULTS: We identified 26 regions linked to LOAD (HLOD ≥3.6). We validated 13 of the regions (HLOD ≥2.5) using the entire family sample. The strongest signal was at 11q12.3 (rs2232932: HLODmax = 4.7, Pjoint = 6.6 × 10(-6)), a locus located ∼2 Mb upstream of the membrane-spanning 4A gene cluster. We additionally identified a locus at 7p14.3 (rs10255835: HLODmax = 4.9, Pjoint = 1.2 × 10(-5)), a region harboring genes associated with the nervous system (GARS, GHRHR, and NEUROD6). DISCUSSION: Future sequencing efforts should focus on these regions because they may harbor familial LOAD causative mutations.
