Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction is a major risk factor for neurodegeneration, yet the genetic architecture linking systemic metabolism to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. METHODS: We integrated genome-wide association data for 249 circulating metabolites and proglucagon with summary statistics for AD, PD, and cardiometabolic traits. Genetic correlations, polygenic overlap,...
