Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease with high heritability. Growth factors (GFs) might contribute to the development of AD due to their broad effects on neuronal system. We herein aimed to investigate the role of rare and common variants of GFs in genetic susceptibility of AD. We screened 23 GFs in 6324 individuals using targeted sequencing. A rare-variant-based burden test and...
