Cognitive Phenotypes, Brain Morphometry and the Detection of Cognitive Decline in Preclinical AD by Mark W. Jacobson, Linda K. McEvoy, Anders Dale, Christine Fennema-Notestine

“…Combining neuropsychological and neuroimaging methodologies should improve our ability to differentiate healthy from pathological aging, although studies that utilize both methods often result in equivocal findings, possibly due to variability in cognitive test performance that may be capturing distinct phenotypes. One method of capturing this cognitive variability is to utilize contrasting neuropsychological tests to identify subgroups representative of distinct cognitive phenotypes, and determine whether differences in brain morphometry support these classifications. …”

Nanoparticles containing intracellular proteins modulate neutrophil functional and phenotypic heterogeneity by Leonore Raudszus, Farbod Bahreini, Susanne Allan, Kai-Uwe Kalies, Charles C. Caldwell, Kathrin Kalies

“…The factors that induce neutrophil differentiation into activating or regulatory phenotypes remain poorly defined. Here, we hypothesize that intracellular components that have been released into the extracellular space could contribute to the phenotypic heterogeneity of neutrophils. …”

Identification and analysis of individuals who deviate from their genetically-predicted phenotype. by Gareth Hawkes, Loic Yengo, Sailaja Vedantam, Eirini Marouli, Robin N Beaumont, GIANT Consortium, Jessica Tyrrell, Michael N Weedon, Joel Hirschhorn, Timothy M Frayling, Andrew R Wood

“…Findings from genome-wide association studies have facilitated the generation of genetic predictors for many common human phenotypes. Stratifying individuals misaligned to a genetic predictor based on common variants may be important for follow-up studies that aim to identify alternative causal factors. …”
