Background: APOE*4 is the strongest genetic risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but other genetic loci may counter its detrimental effect, providing therapeutic avenues. Expanding beyond non-Hispanic White subjects, we sought to additionally leverage genetic data from non-Hispanic and Hispanic subjects of admixed African ancestry to perform trans-ancestry APOE*4-stratified GWAS, anticipating that allele frequency differences across populations would boost power for gene discovery.

Method: Participants were ages 60+, of European (EU; ≥75%) or admixed African (AFR; ≥25%) ancestry, and diagnosed as cases or controls.

Background: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) affects over 15 million individuals in the United States, contributing to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and elevating the risk of neurodegeneration. Despite this, the connection between AUD and aging conditions, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), remains unclear. AD, with a heritability of 60-80%, is genetically linked, necessitating an exploration of the molecular implications of AUD and genetic susceptibility to AD.
