Proposed Analysis: We will develop integrative analysis approaches of genetics and brain imaging phenotypes and apply them to ADNI to identify brain features predictive to Alzheimer’s disease. We will first carry out imaging genetics association analysis to identify genetic variants associated with phenotypic changes of brain-regions due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Single variant and gene-based tests will be used with adjusting for covariates such as genetic PCs for population stratification adjustment. ROI will be used as phenotypes. Second, we will apply deep-learning-based dimension-reduction methods to identify imaging features that are associated with Alzheimer’s diseases. We will use raw MRI data as input. The method will use multiview embedding for image phenotypes, genetic markers associated with AD and AD phenotypes. We will evaluate the prediction performance of the identified features to predict AD risk.
