Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease is a prevalent age-related polygenic disease that accounts for 50–70% of dementia cases. Currently, only a fraction of the genetic variants underlying Alzheimer’s disease have been identified. Here we show that increased sample sizes allowed identification of seven previously unidentified genetic loci contributing to Alzheimer’s disease. This study highlights microglia, immune cells and protein catabolism as relevant to late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, while identifying and prioritizing previously unidentified genes of potential interest. We anticipate that these results can be included in larger meta-analyses of Alzheimer’s disease to identify further genetic variants that contribute to Alzheimer’s pathology.

一项针对 1,126,563 人的全基因组关联研究确定了阿尔茨海默病的新风险位点



晚发性阿尔茨海默病是一种常见的与年龄相关的多基因疾病,占痴呆病例的 50-70%。目前,仅发现了阿尔茨海默病的一小部分遗传变异。在这里,我们表明,增加的样本量可以识别七个先前未识别的导致阿尔茨海默氏病的基因位点。这项研究强调了小胶质细胞、免疫细胞和蛋白质分解代谢与迟发性阿尔茨海默氏病的相关性,同时识别和优先考虑先前未识别的潜在感兴趣的基因。我们预计这些结果可以被纳入对阿尔茨海默病的更大规模的荟萃分析中,以进一步识别导致阿尔茨海默病病理学的遗传变异。
