GWAS of 205,500 Alzheimer's disease and related dementia cases reveals 19 novel, European specific and 11 cross‐ancestry risk loci
The MVP-specific genes may be involved in processes related to more general (not AD specific) dementia pathways or have stronger effects in males. Several of the novel genes identified in EUR and cross-ancestry meta-analysis are involved in neuronal development and function or have been linked to cognitive outcomes.
