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

Genome-wide meta-analysis of muscle weakness identifies 15 susceptibility loci in older men and women

Low muscle strength is an important heritable indicator of poor health linked to morbidity and mortality in older people. In a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of 256,523 Europeans aged 60 years and over from 22 cohorts we identify 15 loci associated with muscle weakness (European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People definition: n = 48,596 cases, 18.9% of total), including 12 loci not implicated in previous analyses of continuous measures of grip strength. Loci include genes reportedly involved in autoimmune disease (HLA-DQA1p = 4 × 10−17), arthritis (GDF5p = 4 × 10−13), cell cycle control and cancer protection, regulation of transcription, and others involved in the development and maintenance of the musculoskeletal system. Using Mendelian randomization we report possible overlapping causal pathways, including diabetes susceptibility, haematological parameters, and the immune system. We conclude that muscle weakness in older adults has distinct mechanisms from continuous strength, including several pathways considered to be hallmarks of ageing

Correction to: A nonsynonymous mutation in PLCG2 reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia, and increases the likelihood of longevity

The IPDGC (The International Parkinson Disease Genomics Consortium) and EADB (Alzheimer Disease European DNA biobank) are listed correctly as an author to the article, however, they were incorrectly listed more than once

Pelabelan konsekutif (Consecutive Labeling) pada graf star Sn dan graf double star Sn,n+1 (n bilangan asli)

INDONESIA: Pelabelan graf G adalah pemetaan yang memetakan unsur-unsur graf ke bilangan (umumnya bilangan bulat non-negatif atau positif) yang disebut label. Pada umumnya domain dari pemetaan ini adalah himpunan titik (pelabelan titik), himpunan sisi (pelabelan sisi), atau himpunan titik dan sisi (pelabelan total). Pelabelan konsekutif graf G adalah fungsi bijektif dari V (G) ∪ E (G ) ke himpunan bilangan bulat positif {1,2,..., p, p + 1, p + 2,..., p + q}, sedemikian sehingga label sisi e = uv merupakan harga mutlak dari selisih label dua titik yang dihubungkan oleh sisi e yaitu f (e)= f (uv)= |f(u)−f(v)|. Pada penelitian ini akan dibahas pelabelan konsekutif pada graf star Sn dan graf double star Sn,n+1 dengan n bilangan asli. Pelabelan graf G adalah pemetaan yang memetakan unsur-unsur graf ke bilangan (umumnya bilangan bulat non-negatif atau positif) yang disebut label. Pada umumnya domain dari pemetaan ini adalah himpunan titik (pelabelan titik), himpunan sisi (pelabelan sisi), atau himpunan titik dan sisi (pelabelan total). Pelabelan konsekutif pada graf star Sn, didefinisikan sebagai berikut: f (vi ) = 2i − 1, 1 ≤ i ≤ n + 1 f (ei )= f (v1vi +1 ) = 2i , 1 ≤ i ≤ n Pelabelan konsekutif pada graf double star Sn,n+1 didefinisikan sebagai berikut: ....... ....... ....... Pembahasan mengenai pelabelan konsekutif ini masih terbuka bagi peneliti lain untuk melanjutkan pada jenis-jenis graf yang lain seperti graf tangga, graf pohon, graf sikel dan lain sebagainya atau pada aplikasiny
