The
APOEε4
allele is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD). However, the risk effect of
APOEε4
varies substantially by ancestry, with individuals of African ancestry (AF) demonstrating markedly lower risk compared to those of European ancestry (EU). This difference in r...

Heritability estimates suggested that common variants explain much of genetic risk among APOE-{varepsilon}4 carriers, while unexplained heritability remains in non-carriers in the Amish, and GWAS confirmed APOE-{varepsilon}4 as the strongest genetic determinant of AD in the Amish.

Epigenetic aging clocks based on DNA methylation patterns across the genome have emerged as a potential biomarker for risk of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and environmental and social stressors. However, methylation clocks have not been comprehensively validated in genetically diverse individual...
