Immune cell-specific genetic architecture of Alzheimer’s disease revealed by multi-omics analysis for therapeutic target discovery and prioritization (opens in new tab)

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative condition in which accumulating genetic and molecular evidence implicates dysregulation of peripheral immune processes in disease pathogenesis. Nevertheless, the contribution of distinct peripheral immune cell subsets and associated gene regulatory landscapes to AD risk remains incompletely defined. To address this gap, we integrated single-cell expression quantitative trait loci (sc‑eQTL) data from the OneK1K cohort with AD GWAS ...
