The overarching goals of the ADSP are to: (1) identify new genomic variants contributing to increased risk of developing AD, (2) identify new genomic variants contributing to p...
...ted to identify new genetic risk and protective factors. Both fundamental scientific discovery and leading edge analytic approaches will be needed to achieve the research goals. The ADSP will conduct and facilitate analysis of sequence data to extend previous discoveries that may ultimately result in new directions for AD therapeutics.

The specific aims of the ADSP are to: (1) identify protective genomic variants in older adults at risk for AD, (2) identify new risk variants among AD cases, and (3) examine these factors in multi-ethnic populations as applicable in order to identify new...
