• A genome-wide association study identifies a novel East Asian-specific locus for dementia with Lewy bodies in Japanese subjects - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40045203

  ABSTRACT: Background Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most common type of degenerative dementia in older patients. As with other multifactorial diseases, the pathogenesis results from interactions of environmental and genetic factors. The genetic basis of DLB is not yet fully understood. Recent genomic analyses of DLB in Caucasian cohorts identified genetic susceptibility loci for DLB, but the comprehensive genomic analysis in Asians was still not performed. Methods We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Japanese subjects (211 DLB cases and 6113 controls) to clarify the genetic architecture of DLB pathogenesis. Results We identified the East Asian-specific DHTKD1 locus (rs138587229) on chromosome 10 with genome-wide significance (GWS; P = 3.27 10-8) an
