Alzheimer dementia (AD) is a common, incurable disorder. Because of changing demographics, the prevalence of AD increases rapidly. This project aims to advance understanding of the genetic etiology of AD, amongst others in explorative association studies of genes in their biological networks, and ultra-high throughput sequencing to characterize allelic heterogeneity. In addition to AD we will also study the phenotype mild cognitive impairment to ...
