Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline with age. The genetic architecture of AD involves multiple loci, including the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE). The polygenic risk scores for AD (AD-PRS) provide a comprehensive genome-wide assessment of AD risk, yet their age-related effects on brain structures and cognitive function in cognitively...
