   Proposal Description:
   In this project, we will use genome-wide association (GWA) data acquired from the NACC to assess for overlapping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and a number of common phenotypes and diseases (from in-house GWAS data samples). Our hope is that this study will provide novel insights into the genetic architecture and pathogenesis of the Alzheimer's disease process.
