Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: We sought to determine whether a systems biology approach may identify novel late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) loci. METHODS: We performed gene-wide association analyses and integrated results with human protein-protein interaction data using network analyses. We performed functional validation on novel genes using a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans Aβ proteotoxicity model and evaluated novel...
