Shared genetic aetiology of Alzheimer's disease and age-related macular degeneration by APOC1 and APOE genes

CONCLUSION: In this study, we confirmed the genetic pleiotropy between AD and AMD and identified APOC1 and APOE as pleiotropic genes. Further, the integration of multiomics data identified ZNF131, ADNP2 and HINFP as novel diagnostic biomarkers for AD and AMD.PMID:38646507 | PMC:PMC11029327 | DOI:10.1136/bmjno-2023-000570
