Overview

UMVUMSSM is a GWAS dataset used in the discovery stage of the ADGC Naj et al. meta-analysis from 2011. It is one of the ten cohorts assembled by ADGC to identify genetic variants in LOAD. This dataset contains 1,172 cases and 1,123 controls (and 167 unknown) ascertained through the Collaborative Alzheimer's Project (CAP) comprising the University of Miami (UM), Vanderbilt University (VU) and Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM).


The dataset has been classified into three PLINK filesets, labeled with "a", "b", and "c", based on the platforms on which the subjects were genotyped.  More platform-specific information can be found below.
