Genetic meta-analysis identifies 9 novel loci and functional pathways for Alzheimer’s disease risk

2018-02-20

Abstract excerpt

Late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia with more than 35 million people affected worldwide, and no curative treatment available. AD is highly heritable and recent genome-wide meta-analyses have identified over 20 genomic loci associated with AD, yet only explaining a small proportion of the genetic variance indicating that undiscovered loci exist. Here, we performed the largest gen...
