How does APOE status impact AD risk in Hispanics/Latinos?

Research in A&D report APOE ε4 shows a heterogeneous effect on ADRD risk across Hispanic/Latino populations, with the strongest associations in Peruvians/Bolivians #AlzResearch

What does heritability mean as measured multiple ways and what does it mean for our understanding of Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer disease is (sometimes) highly heritable: Drivers of variation in heritability estimates for binary traits, a systematic review https://t.co/QegGuZEq7W

@panomics 🙏🙏🙏

[GiusTo Lab @GiusToLab]

Took a minute (4+ years😅), but we made it!

We studied the heterogeneity of APOE and Alzheimer's Disease risk using the largest collection of Hispanic/Latino studies - an amazing collective effort🎉

v nice thread

I wrote about how population stratification in genetic analyses led to a decade of false findings and almost certainly continues to bias emerging results. But we are starting to have statistical tools to sniff it out. A 🧵:

Finally out our paper on ptau217 and AD in Peruvian populations!
A huge effort for the GAPP study, an exceptional cohort of participants from Lima, Arequipa and Puno with deep phenotyping, genetics, plasma and serum available for the scientific community!

A new project from our lab!

Fascinating #admixture study on this underrepresented South African population and the risk profile for Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders #FASD.
1% to 5% of U.S. first graders have FASD! @NIAAAnews
