Abstract excerpt
Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and Alzheimer disease (AD) share metabolic and vascular dysfunctions, but the extent to which they reflect overlapping genetic susceptibility and neurovascular-metabolic regulatory pathways remains unclear. We combined multi-omics analyses with population-based data to examine the genetic convergence, cellular pathways, and longitudinal association between DR and AD. Methods:...
