Genetic Overlap Between Immune-Mediated Diseases and Alzheimer’s Disease (S21.004)

Objective: We investigated whether a subset of genes involved with increased risk of inflammation are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Background: Late-onset AD, the most common form of dementia, places a large burden on families and society. Although epidemiological and clinical evidence suggest a relationship between inflammation and AD, it is unclear whether genes associated with inflammation are also involved...
