Genetic assessment of age-associated Alzheimer disease risk: Development and validation of a polygenic hazard score.

Genetic assessment of age-associated Alzheimer disease risk: Development and validation of a polygenic hazard score.

<h4>Background</h4>Identifying individuals at risk for developing Alzheimer disease (AD) is of utmost importance. Although genetic studies have identified AD-associated SNPs in APOE and other genes, genetic information has not been integrated into an epidemiological framework for risk pr...
