Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent age-related neurodegenerative disease, which has a high heritability of up to 79%. Exploring the genetic basis is essential for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms underlying AD development. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) reported an AD-associated signal in the Cathepsin H (CTSH) gene in European populations. However, the exact functional/causal...
