Research Abstract

The goal of this project is to establish the genotyping system and its use for brain diseases. We supported microsatellite and SNP typing for sib pair analysis and linkage studies on familiar brain diseases such as Alzheimer disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. We identified susceptibility loci associated with late-onset Alzheimer disease by a large-scale genome-wide association study.
