Abstract:Background: Brain metabolism perturbation in dementia is not well understood.Metabolite levels are quantitative traits that have been linked to genetic loci. Existing metabolite quantitative trait loci (MQTL) were found mostly using tissues other than cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain, which being less than ideal for studying neurodegenerative diseases. The first CSF MQTL study was published last year, but with limited
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
