    • Genetic discoveries of Alzheimer’s disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical trials. We first perform a large genetic association study by merging all available case-control datasets and by-proxy study results (discovery n = 409,435 and validation size n = 58,190). Here, we add six variants associated with Alzheimer’s disease risk (near APP, CHRNE, PRKD3/NDUFAF7, PLCG2 and two exonic variants in the SHARPIN gene). Assessment of the polygenic risk score and stratifying by APOE reveal a 4 to 5.5 years difference in median age at onset of Alzheimer’s disease patients in APOE ɛ4 carriers. Because of this study, the underlying mechanisms of APP can be studied to refine the amyloid cascade and the polygenic risk score provides a tool to select individuals at high risk of Alzheimer’s disease. © 2021, The Author(s).

  • To which world regions does the valence-dominance model of social perception apply?
  • 2021

    • Over the past 10 years, Oosterhof and Todorov's valence-dominance model has emerged as the most prominent account of how people evaluate faces on social dimensions. In this model, two dimensions (valence and dominance) underpin social judgements of faces. Because this model has primarily been developed and tested in Western regions, it is unclear whether these findings apply to other regions. We addressed this question by replicating Oosterhof and Todorov's methodology across 11 world regions, 41 countries and 11,570 participants. When we used Oosterhof and Todorov's original analysis strategy, the valence-dominance model generalized across regions. When we used an alternative methodology to allow for correlated dimensions, we observed much less generalization. Collectively, these results suggest that, while the valence-dominance model generalizes very well across regions when dimensions are forced to be orthogonal, regional differences are revealed when we use different extraction methods and correlate and rotate the dimension reduction solution.

  • LifeTime and improving European healthcare through cell-based interceptive medicine
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Nature. - : Springer Nature. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 587:7834, s. 377-386

    • LifeTime aims to track, understand and target human cells during the onset and progression of complex diseases and their response to therapy at single-cell resolution. This mission will be implemented through the development and integration of single-cell multi-omics and imaging, artificial intelligence and patient-derived experimental disease models during progression from health to disease. Analysis of such large molecular and clinical datasets will discover molecular mechanisms, create predictive computational models of disease progression, and reveal new drug targets and therapies. Timely detection and interception of disease embedded in an ethical and patient-centered vision will be achieved through interactions across academia, hospitals, patient-associations, health data management systems and industry. Applying this strategy to key medical challenges in cancer, neurological, infectious, chronic inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases at the single-cell level will usher in cell-based interceptive medicine in Europe over the next decade.

  • TMEM106B and CPOX are genetic determinants of cerebrospinal fluid Alzheimer's disease biomarker levels
  • 2021

    • Introduction Neurofilament light (NfL), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), and neurogranin (Ng) are biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) to monitor axonal damage, astroglial activation, and synaptic degeneration, respectively. Methods We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using DNA and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from the EMIF-AD Multimodal Biomarker Discovery study for discovery, and the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study for validation analyses. GWAS were performed for all three CSF biomarkers using linear regression models adjusting for relevant covariates. Results We identify novel genome-wide significant associations between DNA variants in TMEM106B and CSF levels of NfL, and between CPOX and YKL-40. We confirm previous work suggesting that YKL-40 levels are associated with DNA variants in CHI3L1. Discussion Our study provides important new insights into the genetic architecture underlying interindividual variation in three AD-related CSF biomarkers. In particular, our data shed light on the sequence of events regarding the initiation and progression of neuropathological processes relevant in AD.

  • Exome-wide rare variant analysis of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers: The EMIF-AD multimodal biomarker discovery study
  • 2021

  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers show promise in aiding diagnosis and prediction by representing several neurodegenerative processes, such as synaptic dysfunction, neuronal injury, inflammation or neuronal loss. Biomarkers could also aid in the discovery of AD-related genes and inform which biological mechanisms underlie a genetic risk effect. We performed an exome-wide rare variant analysis of six biomarkers measured in cerebrospinal fluid (β-amyloid, total tau/phosphorylated tau, NFL, YKL-40, and Neurogranin) and hippocampal volume as measured by MRI. The aim was to discover genes associated with these indicators and test whether they mediate genetic effects on AD. METHOD: We performed the exome-wide analysis in two studies: the EMIF-AD study and ADNI. Whole exome sequencing and biomarker information data was available for 505 (CSF biomarkers) and 508 (hippocampal volume) participants with AD, mild cognitive impairment and controls. We applied a principal component (PC) analysis to derive combinations of CSF biomarkers, which represent statistically independent biological processes. We then tested whether rare (MAF < 1%) variants in 13,799 protein-coding genes associate with the PCs or hippocampal volume using a Meta-SKAT test. We also tested whether the PCs are intermediary to gene effects on dementia symptoms with a SMUT test. RESULT: One PC loaded on NFL and YKL40, indicators of neuronal injury and inflammation. Three genes were associated with this PC: IFFO1, NLRC3, and DTNB. Mediation tests suggested, that these genes also affect dementia symptoms by increasing susceptibility to neuronal injury and inflammation. We also observed an association between a PC loading on Neurogranin and GABBR2 and CASZ1, but no mediation effects. Furthermore, BUB1B was associated with left hippocampal volume. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that rare variants in IFFO1, DTNB and NLRC3 impact neuronal injury and inflammation, by potentially altering cytoskeleton structure, impairing repair abilities and disinhibition of immune pathways, which then could lead to dementia symptoms. Furthermore, the findings support a role of BUB1B in hippocampal atrophy. Curiously, this gene has previously been linked to longevity and memory in animal models. This study suggests a similar influence in humans and proposes a pathway through hippocampal neurodegeneration. © 2021 the Alzheimer's Association.

  • Plasma Proteomic Biomarkers Relating to Alzheimer's Disease: A Meta-Analysis Based on Our Own Studies
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. - : Frontiers Media SA. - 1663-4365. ; 13
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background and Objective: Plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis and stratification of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are intensively sought. However, no plasma markers are well established so far for AD diagnosis. Our group has identified and validated various blood-based proteomic biomarkers relating to AD pathology in multiple cohorts. The study aims to conduct a meta-analysis based on our own studies to systematically assess the diagnostic performance of our previously identified blood biomarkers. Methods: To do this, we included seven studies that our group has conducted during the last decade. These studies used either Luminex xMAP or ELISA to measure proteomic biomarkers. As proteins measured in these studies differed, we selected protein based on the criteria that it must be measured in at least four studies. We then examined biomarker performance using random-effect meta-analyses based on the mean difference between biomarker concentrations in AD and controls (CTL), AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), MCI, and CTL as well as MCI converted to dementia (MCIc) and non-converted (MCInc) individuals. Results: An overall of 2,879 subjects were retrieved for meta-analysis including 1,053 CTL, 895 MCI, 882 AD, and 49 frontotemporal dementia (FTD) patients. Six proteins were measured in at least four studies and were chosen for meta-analyses for AD diagnosis. Of them, three proteins had significant difference between AD and controls, among which alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) and ficolin-2 (FCN2) increased in AD while fibrinogen gamma chain (FGG) decreased in AD compared to CTL. Furthermore, FGG significantly increased in FTD compared to AD. None of the proteins passed the significance between AD and MCI, or MCI and CTL, or MCIc and MCInc, although complement component 4 (CC4) tended to increase in MCIc individuals compared to MCInc. Conclusions: The results suggest that A2M, FCN2, and FGG are promising biomarkers to discriminate AD patients from controls, which are worthy of further validation.
