[Articles] Investigating the genetic architecture of dementia with Lewy bodies: a two-stage genome-wide association study

Despite the small sample size for a genome-wide association study, and acknowledging the potential biases from ascertaining samples from multiple locations, we present the most comprehensive and well powered genetic study in dementia with Lewy bodies so far. These data show that common genetic variability has a role in the disease.
