In addition to the APOE locus (encoding apolipoprotein E), 19 loci reached genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) in the combined stage 1 and stage 2 analysis, of which 11 are newly associated with Alzheimer's disease.

A large genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinically diagnosed late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) from 94,437 individuals identifies new LOAD risk loci and implicates Aβ formation, tau protein binding, immune response and lipid metabolism.

Results confirm that mitochondrial DNA is particularly sensitive to oxidative damage, and they show that there is increased oxidative damage to DNA in AD, which may contribute to the neurodegenerative process.

IADL requiring higher neuropsychological functioning seem to be most severely affected in patients with MCI, and the development of performance-based assessment instruments should be intensified, as they allow a valid and reliable assessment of subtle IADL deficits in MCI.

A five‐item version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) for the screening of depression in community‐dwelling older subjects, hospitalized older patients, and nursing home residents is tested.
Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA shows marked age‐dependent increases in human brain
- P. Mecocci, U. Macgarvey, M. Beal
- BiologyAnnals of Neurology
- 1 October 1993
Results show for the first time that there is a progressive age‐related accumulation in oxidative damage to DNA in human brain, and that the mtDNA is preferentially affected and it is possible that such damage may contribute to age‐dependent increases in incidence of neurodegenerative diseases.
Marked decrease in plasma antioxidants in aged osteoporotic women: results of a cross-sectional study.
- D. Maggio, M. Barabani, A. Cherubini
- MedicineJournal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
- 1 April 2003
The results reveal that antioxidant defenses are markedly decreased in osteoporotic women, and the mechanisms underlying antioxidant depletion and its relevance to the pathogenesis of osteoporeosis deserve further investigation.
Plasma antioxidants are similarly depleted in mild cognitive impairment and in Alzheimer’s disease
