A research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to analyze genetic data from diverse populations to identify unique genetic factors influencing Alzheimer's disease risk, develop new analytical methods, and summarize findings through pathway analyses.
Description
This project aims to perform genetic analyses in African American, African, and Hispanic/Latino populations to identify genetic factors influencing Alzheimer's disease risk. It involves developing new methods for regulatory element identification and leveraging admixed chromosomes, with results summarized through polygenic and pathway analyses.
