Recent Findings from University of Pennsylvania Highlight Research in Alzheimer Disease (943 variants identified synthesizing chromatin conformation capture and quantitative trait loci with results from the Alzheimer's Disease Variant Portal...).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania utilized functional genomics methods to analyze genetic targets associated with Alzheimer's Disease. By synthesizing chromatin conformation capture and quantitative trait loci data, the study identified 943 variants linked to Alzheimer's risk. The findings highlighted the importance of diverse functional annotations in discovering new target genes and understanding disease mechanisms. This research contributes to ongoing efforts to unravel the genetic underpinnings of Alzheimer's Disease. [Extracted from the article]
