Shared Genetic Architecture Between Kidney Function and Alzheimer Disease Across Ancestries

was the only shared locus across ancestries, underscoring ancestry-specific architectures with implications for risk prediction. The multi-scale approach used here also provides a methodological framework for dissecting complex disease relationships missed by traditional genome-wide analyses.

Abstract

was the only shared locus across ancestries, underscoring ancestry-specific architectures with implications for risk prediction. The multi-scale approach used here also provides a methodological framework for dissecting complex disease relationships missed by traditional genome-wide analyses.
