Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies suggest a positive association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). This large-scale genetic study brings together 'big data' resources to examine the causal impact of genetic determinants of CAD on risk of LOAD. A two-sample Mendelian randomization approach was adopted to estimate the causal effect of CAD on risk of LOAD using summary data from...
