Common variants in Alzheimer's disease and risk stratification by polygenic ris...
de Rojas, Itziar; Moreno-Grau, Sonia; Tesi, Niccolo; Grenier-Boley, Benjamin; Andrade, Victor; Jansen, Iris E.; Pedersen, Nancy L.; Stringa, NajadaGenetic discoveries of Alzheimer's disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical trials. We first perform a large genetic association study by merging all available case-control datasets and by-proxy study results (discovery n = 409,435 and validation size n = 58,190). Her...
