Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common multifactorial neurodegenerative disease among elderly people. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been highly successful in identifying genetic risk factors. However, GWAS investigate common variants, which tend to have small effect sizes, and rare variants with potentially larger phenotypic effects have not been sufficiently investigated. Whole-genome...
