Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To test for replication of the association between variants in the CLU, CR1, and PICALM genes with Alzheimer disease. DESIGN: Follow-up case-control association study. SETTING: The Mayo Clinics at Jacksonville, Florida, and Rochester, Minnesota. PARTICIPANTS: Community-based patients of European descent with late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) and controls without dementia who were seen at the Mayo clinics, and autopsy-confirmed cases and controls whose pathology was evaluated at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Additional samples were obtained from the National Cell Repository for Alzheimer Disease (NCRAD). A total of 1829 LOAD cases and 2576 controls were analyzed. INTERVENTIONS: The most significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CLU (rs11136000), CR1 (rs3818361), and PICALM (rs3851179) were tested for allelic association with LOAD. Main Outcome Measure Clinical or pathology-confirmed diagnosis of LOAD. RESULTS: Odds ratios for CLU, CR1, and PICALM were 0.82, 1.15, and 0.80, respectively, comparable in direction and magnitude with those originally reported. P values were 8.6 x 10(-5), .014, and 1.3 x 10(-5), respectively; they remain significant even after Bonferroni correction for the 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms tested. CONCLUSION: These results show near-perfect replication and provide the first additional evidence that CLU, CR1, and PICALM are associated with the risk of LOAD.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The association of PICALM polymorphisms with late-onset AD has been reported by the majority of GWAS studies.

    “The association of PICALM polymorphisms with late-onset AD has been reported by the majority of GWAS studies (94, 119, 236, 265, 298, 344, 528).”

    From Blood-Brain Barrier: From Physiology to Disease and Back (2019) · cites this paper as [94]

    The Results report a PICALM SNP association with late-onset AD in Harold et al.’s GWAS and replicate it in this paper’s follow-up study. They also say Lambert et al.’s GWAS did not report that association. The paper therefore supports the association, but not the claim that a majority of GWAS studies reported it. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Some additional highly replicated AD risk genes include CR1, BIN1, and TREM2.

    “Some additional highly replicated risk genes include CR1 , BIN1 , and TREM2 (94, 119, 219, 300, 344, 543).”

    From Blood-Brain Barrier: From Physiology to Disease and Back (2019) · cites this paper as [94]

    The Abstract’s Results and Conclusion report replication of CR1’s association with late-onset Alzheimer disease. This paper examines CLU, CR1, and PICALM, but the available full text does not support the sentence’s inclusion of BIN1 or TREM2. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Several GWAS studies have identified CLU as a significant genetic risk factor for sporadic AD.

    “Several GWAS studies have identified CLU as a significant genetic risk factor for sporadic AD (94, 119, 236, 343).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
