Evaluating the association between genetically proxied ACE inhibition and dementias

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has been implicated in the metabolism of amyloid beta; however, the causal effect of ACE inhibition on risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia and other common dementias is largely unknown. METHODS: We examined the causal association of genetically proxied ACE inhibition with four types of dementias using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach....
