Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk variants have been identified in European ancestry cohorts that have stronger effects at certain ages, in individuals with a specific sex, or in those with specific isoforms of APOE, the strongest AD risk locus. However, sample sizes in African ancestry (AA) cohorts have been underpowered to perform stratified analyses.

6,960 African American male cases, 65,919 African American male controls
