Genomic variation in educational attainment modifies Alzheimer’s disease risk

2018-11-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> To determine the putative protective relationship of educational attainment on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk using Mendelian randomization, and to test the hypothesis that by using genetic regions surrounding individually associated SNPs as the instrumental variable we can identify genes that contribute to the relationship. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed Mendelian randomization using genome-wid...
