Proposed Analysis: | We propose to generate a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) model and find rare variants that are associated with deviation from PRS disease state predictions, as well as novel Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk related phenotypes. (Escott-Price et al. 2015) have shown PRSs to be predictive of AD status, and deviation of PRS from actual disease outcome, Δ, has identified subjects enriched with rare risk alleles for Crohn's Disease (Jostins, Levine, and Barrett 2013). We will make predictions of disease status in the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), based on PRS-based models generated from a non-ADSP ADGC sample, including the Adult Changes in Thought study. We will then identify rare genetic variants that are associated with departure from those predictions. We also intend to use the PRS model generated for this study to investigate the overlap between AD risk and liability for other, putatively unrelated traits in order to identify phenotypes with shared risk architecture. Our hypothesis is that we will be able to increase power for the discovery of rare variants by using Δs from our model predictions as a response variable. We also expect at least some rare variation to be associated with departure from common risk. For this Polygenic Phenome Wide Association Study (PolyPheWAS), we have access to a genotyped and deeply phenotyped sample through an institutional biobank. Overall, a PRS model generated from ADGC data will allow us to identify rare variants and non AD traits associated with AD risk. |
