Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: We utilized an Alzheimer's disease (AD) polygenic risk score (PRS) to discover associations with novel rare variants (RVs). METHODS: PRSs for European ancestry (EA) participants of the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project were calculated using summary statistics from a large genome-wide association study. Participants were classified into high (n = 5738) and low (n = 5324) PRS groups based on the...
