Abstract excerpt
Variants in APOE are associated with risk of late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) but the magnitude of the effect has been reported to vary across ancestries. Also, other variants in the region have been reported to show association though it has been unclear whether this was secondary to their linkage disequilibrium with the APOE variants rs429358 and rs7412. Previous analyses of exome-sequenced samples have...
