Proposed Analysis: ADNI data will be used to identify personalized polygenic profiles, comprised of the APOE e2 allele, other polymorphisms in the APOE region, and polymorphisms spread through the entire genome, with stronger protection in aging and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) framework, and identify the role of AD risk factors in these profiles. We will examine interaction of the identified polygenic profiles with preclinical measures available in ADNI and validate associations of polygenic profiles with these measures.

Investigator's Name: Elena Loiko
Proposed Analysis: ADNI data will be used to identify personalized genetic profiles of risks and resilience to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular diseases in the disease-specific and pleiotropic contexts in prioritized loci leveraging information from the AD-centered pleiotropic meta-analysis, conducted using ADNI and other datasets planned in this project, and previous analyses by our and other research groups, and identify the role of AD risk and other factors in these profiles. We will examine associations and interactions of the identified genetic variants with preclinical measures and measures of cognitive health available in ADNI. We will also examine mediating role of AD risk factors available in ADNI in the identified associations. We will use Michigan Imputation Server (https://imputationserver.sph.umich.edu/index.html) for imputation of genotypes. This server provides a free genotype imputation service. We will upload only genotype data using de-identified individuals’ IDs through secure protocol provided by this service. We will receive phased and imputed genomes in return. All uploaded information on the Michigan Imputation Server is permanently deleted after the imputation. We will use these de-identified IDs to link imputed genomes to the phenotypic information on our local servers under the same protocol as for the data analyses. Imputed genotype data will be used to harmonize them with other studies for cross-platform analyses on our local servers.
