Abstract excerpt
Most existing transcriptome wide association studies (TWASs) of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) dementia only use bulk RNA-seq data and a single statistical method. Here, we utilize an omnibus TWAS (TWAS-O) pipeline that leverages multiple complementary statistical methods to integrate the snRNA-seq dataset (n = 415) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the latest GWAS data of AD dementia. We fine-map TWAS...
