Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Objective: Large genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many novel genes influencing Alzheimer disease (AD) risk, but most of the genetic variance remains unexplained. We conducted a 2-stage GWAS for AD-related quantitative measures of hippocampal volume (HV), total cerebral volume (TCV), and white matter hyperintensities (WMH).

1149 European ancestry Alzheimer disease cases, 336 European ancestry individuals with mild cognitive impairment, 188 European ancestry controls
