Abstract excerpt
Sex differences in the manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are under intense investigations 1,2 . Despite the emerging importance of polygenic predictions for AD 3–8 , the sex-dependent polygenic effects have not been demonstrated. Here, using a sex crossover analysis, we show that sex-dependent autosomal genetic effects on AD can be revealed by characterizing disease progress via the hazard function. We...
