Shared Genetic Architecture Between Kidney Function and Alzheimer Disease Across Ancestries

2026-04-06

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that chronic kidney disease is associated with increased Alzheimer disease risk. However, the underlying genetic architecture connecting these two conditions remains largely unexplored beyond genome-wide correlation analyses. Here, we conducted the first comprehensive, multi-ancestry, large-scale genetic investigation to identify shared genetic components between kid...
