Abstract excerpt
Using publicly-available data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative, we investigate the joint association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in previously established linkage regions for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and rates of decline in brain structure. In an initial, discovery stage of analysis, we applied a weighted RV test to assess the association between 75,845 SNPs in the Alzgene...
