Hearing difficulty is linked to Alzheimer’s disease by common genetic vulnerability, not shared genetic architecture
Abstract Age-related hearing loss was recently established as the largest modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), however, the reasons for this link remain unclear. We investigate shared underlying genetic associations using results from recent large genome-wide association studies (GWA...
