متن کاملGenetic architecture of age-related cognitive decline in African Americans
OBJECTIVE To identify genetic risk factors associated with susceptibility to age-related cognitive decline in African Americans (AAs). METHODS We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and an admixture-mapping scan in 3,964 older AAs from 5 longitudinal cohorts; for each participant, we calculated a slope of an individual's global cognitive change from neuropsychological evaluations...
