Matching heterogeneous cohorts by projected principal components reveals two novel Alzheimer's disease-associated genes in the Hispanic population.
Key Points
The research aims to identify novel genes associated with Alzheimer's disease by matching heterogeneous cohorts.
Matched subjects from large biobanks and small cohorts using projected principal components.
Analyzed genetic data to find associations with Alzheimer's disease.
Identified two novel genes associated with Alzheimer's disease specifically in the Hispanic population.
Demonstrated effectiveness of cohort matching for uncovering new genetic findings.
Abstract
We demonstrate a way to match subjects between large biobanks and small disease-specific cohorts, enabling novel findings.
