Integration of Alzheimer’s disease genetics and myeloid genomics identifies disease risk regulatory elements and genes

This study integrates Alzheimer’s disease (AD) GWAS data with myeloid cell genomics, and reports that myeloid active enhancers are most burdened by AD risk alleles. The authors also nominate candidate causal regulatory elements, variants and genes that likely modulate the risk for AD.
