Red blood cell indices and anaemia as causative factors for cognitive function deficits and for Alzheimer's disease.

Laura M Winchester | John Powell | Simon Lovestone | Alejo J Nevado-Holgado
Genome medicine | 2018

Studies have shown that low haemoglobin and anaemia are associated with poor cognition, and anaemia is known to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the mechanism of this risk is unknown. Here, we first seek to confirm the association between cognition and anaemia and secondly, in order to further understand the mechanism of this association, to estimate the direction of causation using Mendelian randomisation.

AddNeuroMed (tool)

RRID:SCR_003819

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 9,2023. Project portal for a cross European study designed to find biomarkers, or tests, for Alzheimer's disease. Its objectives are to produce and improve experimental models of Alzheimer's for biomarker discovery and to identify a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease suitable for diagnosis, prediction, and monitoring disease progression for use in clinical trials and in clinical practice. The baseline dataset database was scheduled to be completed and locked in 2008 and become available to researchers by 2009. Requests to access the data will be reviewed by the scientific projects committee.

Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (tool)

RRID:SCR_003199

Software package for interpreting gene expression data. Used for interpretation of a large-scale experiment by identifying pathways and processes.

SNPTEST (tool)

RRID:SCR_009406

Software program for the analysis of single SNP association in genome-wide studies. The tests implemented can cater for binary (case-control) and quantitative phenotypes, can condition upon an arbitrary set of covariates and properly account for the uncertainty in genotypes. The program is designed to work seamlessly with the output of both the genotype calling program CHIAMO, the genotype imputation program IMPUTE and the program GTOOL. This program was used in the analysis of the 7 genome-wide association studies carried out by the Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium (WTCCC). (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

KEGG (tool)

RRID:SCR_012773

Integrated database resource consisting of 16 main databases, broadly categorized into systems information, genomic information, and chemical information. In particular, gene catalogs in completely sequenced genomes are linked to higher-level systemic functions of cell, organism, and ecosystem. Analysis tools are also available. KEGG may be used as reference knowledge base for biological interpretation of large-scale datasets generated by sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.
