This award funds a project to generate and analyze whole genome sequencing data from diverse populations to study Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias, aiming to identify molecular drivers and share data with the research community.
Description
The proposed project will deliver a comprehensive set of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data from individuals of African, European, and Native Brazilian ancestry, and analyze their associations with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) clinical and neuropathologic traits. The data will be shared with the aging and dementia research community to have a sustained impact.
