A Million Veteran Program GWAS of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias in African Americans Identifies Multiple Genome‐Wide Significant Dementia Risk Loci

While genome wide association studies (GWASs) of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in European ancestry cohorts (EUR) have identified >70 potentially independent AD risk loci, progress in non‐European populations has lagged. In this study, data from US Veterans of African ancestry (AFR) from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) biorepository were used to identify genetic factors associated with AD and related dementias (ADRD).
