Abstract:INTRODUCTION: Late-onset Alzheimers disease (LOAD) has been associated with alterations in the morphology of multiple brain structures and it is likely that disease mechanisms differ between brain regions. Coupling genetic determinants of LOAD with measures of brain morphology could localize and identify primary causal neurobiological pathways. METHODS: Mediation and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis were performed using common genetic variation, T1 MRI and clinical data collected by UK Biobank and Alzheim… Show more
