Association of a Total Cholesterol Polygenic Score with Cholesterol Levels and Pathological Biomarkers across the Alzheimer’s Disease Spectrum

Association of a Total Cholesterol Polygenic Score with Cholesterol Levels and Pathological Biomarkers across the Alzheimer’s Disease Spectrum

Midlife hypercholesterolemia is a well-known risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and like AD, it is highly influenced by genetics with heritability estimates of 32–63%. We thus hypothesized that genetics underlying peripheral blood total cholesterol (TC) levels could influence the ris...
