Abstract excerpt
Several cardiovascular traits and diseases co-occur with Alzheimer's disease. We mapped their shared genetic architecture using multi-trait genome-wide association studies. Subsequent fine-mapping and colocalisation highlighted 16 genetic loci associated with both Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. We prioritised rs11786896, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of...
