120 - New Genetic Variants in Alzheimer's Disease: January 2021

The rapidly evolving field of Alzheimer’s research is always discovering new genes, variants or even pathways that are associated with this disease. In this episode, Joseph goes over 14 studies from January 2021 that explored novel genes or novel variants, or even studied the associations of novel pathways with AD.  

Sections in this episode:  

Association studies with gene networks and polygenic risk scores (2:19)  

Commonly known genes and pathways (10:14)  

Mitochondria (19:09)

Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Joseph Liang.  The bibliography was created by Satish Kumar and the wordcloud was made by Sarah Louadi using www.wordart.com.  Big thanks to Elyn Rowe, Jacques Ferreira and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, to our managers Sarah Louadi and Ellen Koch for keeping everything running smoothly, and props to the whole team that works very hard behind the scenes to make all this possible. 

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.
