Dataset

NG00035 - GWAS of CSF tau levels identifies risk variants for AD

Overview

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau, tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (ptau), and Aβ₄₂ are established biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and have been used as quantitative traits for genetic analyses.  This is the largest genome-wide association study for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tau/ptau levels published to date (n = 1,269).  Imputed data consists of 5,815,690 SNPS using HapMap release 22 CEU (build 36) as a reference panel.
