This paper investigates the impact of an ancestry-specific ABCA7 deletion on lipid homeostasis in Alzheimer's disease, showing disrupted lipid regulation in neurons.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with Parkinson's disease in African and African admixed populations, highlighting differences from European and Asian populations.

This study reviews heritability estimates for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, showing significant variation across studies and highlighting the importance of population and methodological context.

The paper investigates the association between inflammatory biomarkers, stroke severity, and outcomes in indigenous Africans using data from the SIREN cohort.

ERICH-GENE collects and analyzes genomic and neuroimaging data from over 10,000 multi-ethnic ICH cases to identify genetic risk factors and trans-ethnic variation in ICH.

Intronic GBA1 variant rs3115534-G, common in African and African admixed ancestry but rare elsewhere, raises Parkinson's disease risk (OR 1.58) and lowers onset age.

The paper examines MAPT haplotype frequencies in Nigerian Africans and finds no association between the H1 haplotype and Parkinson's disease risk or age at onset.
