- The study conducted the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) on sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) using a sample from Argentina and Chile, involving 539 patients and 854 controls.
- Combining their findings with data from the European Alzheimer and Dementia Biobank (EADB), researchers identified apolipoprotein E ε4 as a significant genetic risk factor and discovered four new loci linked to AD.
- The research highlights the shared genetic factors affecting AD risk across different populations, while also noting that a genetic risk score (GRS) showed diminishing effectiveness with increasing Native American ancestry.
