description Machine learning algorithms have been used for detection (and possibly) prediction of Alzheimer&#x2019;s disease using genotype information, with the potential to enhance the outcome prediction. However, detailed research about the analysis and the detection of Alzheimer&#x2019;s disease using genetic data is still in its primitive stage. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the scientific literature on the use of various machine learning approaches for the prediction of Alzheimer&#x2019;s disease based solely on genetic data. To identify gaps in the literature, critically appraise the reporting and methods of the algorithms, and provide the foundation for a wider research programme focused on developing novel machine learning based predictive algorithms in Alzheimer&#x2019;s disease. A systematic review of quantitative studies was conducted using three search engines (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus), and included studies between <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$1^{\mathrm {st}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of January 2010 and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$31^{\mathrm {st}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> December 2021. Keywords used were &#x2018;Alzheimer&#x2019;s disease(s)&#x2019;, &#x2018;GWAS, &#x2018;Artificial intelligence&#x2019; and their synonyms. After applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 24 studies were included. Machine learning methods in the reviewed papers performed in a wide range of ways (0.59 to 0.98 AUC). The main findings showed that high risk of bias in the analysis can be linked to feature selection, hyperparameter search and validation methods.
