AbstractBackgroundLate‐onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is heritable with 20 genes showing genome‐wide association in the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project (IGAP). To identify the biology underlying the disease, we extended these genetic data in a pathway analysis.MethodsThe ALIGATOR and GSEA algorithms were used in the IGAP data to identify associated functional pathways and correlated gene expression networks in human brain.ResultsALIGATOR identified an excess of curated biological pathways showing enrichment of association. Enriched areas of biology included the immune response (P = 3.27 × 10−12 after multiple testing correction for pathways), regulation of endocytosis (P = 1.31 × 10−11), cholesterol transport (P = 2.96 × 10−9), and proteasome‐ubiquitin activity (P = 1.34 × 10−6). Correlated gene expression analysis identified four significant network modules, all related to the immune response (corrected P = .002–.05).ConclusionsThe immune response, regulation of endocytosis, cholesterol transport, and protein ubiquitination represent prime targets for AD therapeutics.

Background Different cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-beta 1–42 (A β 1–42 ), total Tau (Tau) and Tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-Tau) levels are reported, but currently there is a lack of quality control programmes. The aim of this study was to compare the measurements of these CSF biomarkers, between and within centres. Methods Three CSF-pool samples were distributed to 13 laboratories in 2004 and the same samples were again distributed to 18 laboratories in 2008. In 2004 six laboratories measured A β 1–42 , Tau and P-Tau and seven laboratories measured one or two of these marker(s) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). In 2008, 12 laboratories measured all three markers, three laboratories measured one or two marker(s) by ELISAs and three laboratories measured the markers by Luminex. Results In 2004, the ELISA intercentre coefficients of variance (interCV) were 31%, 21% and 13% for A β 1–42 , Tau and P-Tau, respectively. These were 37%, 16% and 15%, respectively, in 2008. When we restricted the analysis to the Innotest ® ( N = 13) for A β 1–42 , lower interCV were calculated (22%). The centres that participated in both years ( N = 9) showed interCVs of 21%, 15% and 9% and intra-centre coefficients (intraCV) of variance of 25%,18% and 7% in 2008. Conclusions The highest variability was found for A β 1–42 . The variabilities for Tau and P-Tau were lower in both years. The centres that participated in both years showed a high intraCV comparable to their interCV, indicating that there is not only a high variation between but also within centres. Besides a uniform standardization of (pre)analytical procedures, the same assay should be used to decrease the inter/intracentre variation.
