The genetic landscape of brain ageing

2026-07-24

Abstract excerpt

<p>Brain age gap (BAG) has emerged as a widely used measure of brain health, with applications in neuropsychiatric prognostication and clinical trial enrichment. Over the past eight years, 23 genome‑wide association studies (GWAS) in more than 62,000 adults have advanced the current understanding of genetic contributions to brain ageing. BAG is moderately heritable, with common variants explaining up to 29% of phe...
