Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder and the most common type of dementia. AD is characterized by a decline of cognitive function and brain atrophy, and is highly heritable with estimated heritability ranging from 60 to 80[Formula: see text]. The most straightforward and widely used strategy to identify AD genetic basis is to perform genome-wide association study (GWAS) of...
