Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genetic factors promoting cognitive preservation in high-risk older adults for Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk remain understudied. Among Midwestern Amish with elevated AD genetic risk, we hypothesized ranking sibships by mean genetic risk scores during linkage analysis would reveal loci influencing preserved cognition. METHODS: We evaluated 1855 Amish adults (≥75 years) using the Modified Mini-Mental...
