Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer disease (AD) risk differs across ancestral populations, yet most genetic studies have focused on non-Hispanic White (NHW) cohorts. We conducted a multi-population transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) using whole-blood RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and genotype data from NHW (n = 235), African American (AA; n = 224), and Hispanic (HISP; n = 292) Multi-Ancestry Genomics, Epigenomics, and Transcriptomics...
