Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genome-wide association studies have identified numerous Alzheimer's disease (AD) susceptibility loci in European populations. However, the genetic architecture of AD in non-European populations remains underinvestigated. METHODS: We performed a genetic association study in East Asians (N = 8514) to validate known AD loci and identify new susceptibility loci. RESULTS: We identified LILRB2-LILRB5 as...
