Polygenic resilience scores capture protective genetic effects for Alzheimer’s disease
2022-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) can boost risk-prediction in late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) beyond apolipoprotein E ( APOE) but have not been leveraged to identify genetic resilience factors. Here, we sought to identify resilience-conferring common genetic variants in 1) unaffected individuals having high PRSs for LOAD, and 2) unaffected APOE - ε 4 carriers also having high PRSs for LOAD. We used genome-wide a...
