    Authors:Cras, P. (Patrick); Harskamp, van F. (Frans); Ceuterick, C.; Duijn, van C.M. (Cock); Stefanko, S.Z.; Hofman, A. (Albert); Kros, J.M. (Johan); Broeckhoven, van C. (Christine); Martin, J-J. (Jean-Jacques); Hendriks, L. (Lydia)
    In:Acta Neuropathologica, 96(3), 253 - 260. ISSN 0001-6322.

    Abstract:

    Mutations at codons 717 and 670/671 in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) are rare genetic causes of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). A mutation at codon 693 of APP has also been described as the genetic defect in hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis of the Dutch type (HCHWA-D). We hav

    In:Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases: an international peer-reviewed journal for health professionals and researchers in the rheumatic diseases. ISSN 0003-4967.

    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: To assess the contribution of radiological osteoarthritis of the hips and knees to disabilities in the activities of daily living related to lower limb function. METHODS: During a home interview 1156 men and 1739 women, randomly chosen from the source populat

  • A genetic association study of the IGF-1 gene and radiological osteoarthritis in a population-based cohort study (the Rotterdam Study) (1998)Open access

    Authors:Meulenbelt, I. (Ingrid); Bijkerk, C. (Casper); Miedema, H.S. (Harald); Breedveld, F.C. (Ferdinand); Valkenburg, H.A. (Hans); Pols, H.A.P. (Huibert); Slagboom, P.E. (Eline); Duijn, van C.M. (Cock); Hofman, A. (Albert)

    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: A genetic association study was performed to investigate whether radiographical osteoarthritis (ROA) was associated with specific genotypes of the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) gene. METHODS: Subjects aged 55-65 years were selected from a population-based study of which ROA at the

  • Relation of alleles of the collagen type Ialpha1 gene to bone density and the risk of osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women (1998)Open access

    Authors:Uitterlinden, A.G. (André); Burger, H. (Huibert); Huang, Q. (Qiuju); Yue, F. (Fang); McGuigan, F.E.; Grant, S.F.; Pols, H.A.P. (Huibert); Ralston, S.H.; Leeuwen, van J.P.T.M. (Hans); Hofman, A. (Albert)
    In:New England Journal of Medicine. ISSN 0028-4793.

    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis is a common disorder with a strong genetic component. One way in which the genetic component could be expressed is through polymorphism of COLIA1, the gene for collagen type Ialpha1, a bone-matrix protein. METHODS: We determined the COLIA1 genot

  • A prospective study on cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and cognitive function in the elderly (1998)Open access
