Abstract excerpt
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic variants associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their functional implications remain unclear. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) offer enhanced statistical power by analyzing genetic associations at the gene level rather than at the variant level, enabling assessment of how genetically-regulated gene expression...
