Sex-Specific Genetic Drivers of Memory, Executive Functioning, and Language Performance in Older Adults

2025-05-27

Abstract excerpt

We previously identified sex-specific genetic loci associated with memory performance, a strong Alzheimer’s disease (AD) endophenotype. Here, we expand on this work by conducting sex-specific, cross-ancestral, genome-wide meta-analyses of three cognitive domains (memory, executive functioning, and language) in 33,918 older adults (57% female; 41% cognitively impaired; mean age=73 years) from 10 aging and AD cohort...
