Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genome-wide association studies have led to numerous genetic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) now permits genome-wide analyses to identify rare variants contributing to AD risk. METHODS: We performed single-variant and spatial clustering-based testing on rare variants (minor allele frequency [MAF] ≤1%) in a family-based WGS-based association study of 2247...
