Article Synopsis
- Hispanic/Latino populations, particularly Puerto Ricans, are underrepresented in Alzheimer Disease (AD) genetics research, prompting a study to identify new AD risk loci in this group.
- The study involved Whole Genome Sequencing and analyzed data from 648 Puerto Ricans, adjusting for various factors to ensure accurate results and inferring local ancestry.
- Results revealed a suggestive AD risk locus on chromosome 12 and replicated several known AD genetic loci, emphasizing the need for including diverse populations in genetic studies to improve understanding of AD.
