BACKGROUND: Rare TREM2 variants are significant risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: We used next generation sequencing of the whole gene (n = 700), exon 2 Sanger sequencing (n = 2634), p.R47H genotyping (n = 3518), and genome wide association study imputation (n = 13,048) to determine whether TREM2 variants are risk factors or phenotypic modifiers in patients with AD (n = 1002), frontotemporal...
