Meta‐analysis of age‐related cognitive decline reveals a novel locus for the attention domain and implicates a COVID‐19‐related gene for global cognitive function

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive abilities have substantial heritability throughout life, as shown by twin- and population-based studies. However, there is limited understanding of the genetic factors related to cognitive decline in aging across neurocognitive domains. METHODS: We conducted a meta-analysis on 3045 individuals aged ≥65, derived from three population-based cohorts, to identify genetic variants associated...
