Abstract:PURPOSEFew rare pathogenic variants have been identified in the 70+ genetic loci from genome wide association studies of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD), limiting research on underlying mechanisms, risk assessment, and genetic counseling.METHODSUsing genome sequencing data from 197 families in The National Institute on Aging Alzheimer’s Disease Family Based Study (AD-FBS), and 214 families in The Estudio Familiar de la Influencia Genética en Alzheimer (EFIGA), we characterized rare coding variants predicte… Show more
