Multimodal Brain Imaging Reveals Structural Differences in Alzheimer’s Disease Polygenic Risk Carriers: A Study in Healthy Young Adults

BackgroundRecent genome-wide association studies have identified genetic loci that jointly make a considerable contribution to risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Because neuropathological features of AD can be present several decades before disease onset, we investigated whether effects of polygenic risk are detectable by neuroimaging in young adults. We hypothesized that higher polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for AD would be associated...
