Abstract excerpt
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) contributes to accelerated cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia and is a common finding at autopsy. The APOEε4 allele and male sex have previously been reported to associate with increased CAA in AD. To inform biomarker and therapeutic target discovery, we aimed to identify additional genetic risk factors and biological pathways involved in this vascular...
