Olfactory dysfunction (OD) can have serious consequences as it hinders individuals from detecting important warning signals like smoke, spoiled food, and gas leaks. This can significantly impact their nutritional status, eating satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease that greatly affects the quality of life and can lead to a decrease, distortion, or complete loss of olfactory ability.

Background: Recent research reported that cancer patients had lower risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Common signaling pathways, hormonal systems, and genetic predispositions have been hypothesized as important factors contributing to this inverse association. However, the exact mechanisms are still unknown.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia globally. While some familial cases are observed, sporadic AD cases are more common and reflect a high level of complexity, with individual risk determined by the interaction of polygenic and environmental factors.
Objective: To characterize polygenic genetic risk factors in individuals with cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's Disease across four regions of Peru.

Background: Recent single-cell omics analyses have revealed that microglia change into reactive microglia when Aβ accumulates in the brain and exhibit Aβ phagocytosis. However, reactive microglia are less likely to be induced in TREM2 mutation carriers. This microglia-centred pathological mechanism may be considered one of the pathologies of AD.

The project leading to this paper has received funding from the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 115952, Brussels, Belgium.
Background: Published data have highlighted associations between Alzheimer's disease (AD) susceptibility loci and AD-related brain changes. The amyloid imaging to prevent AD (AMYPAD) consortium is a European collaboration consisting of several parent cohorts, four of which had raw genotype array data available. We sought to integrate and harmonise the genetic data, calculate AD polygenic risk scores (PRS), and investigate their association with global amyloid deposition.
