Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract INTRODUCTION We recently described that the African‐specific A allele of rs10423769, which lies in an area of segmental duplications, reduces Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk by ∼ 75% in apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 homozygotes. METHODS Short and long‐read sequencing were used to identify the haplotype harboring rs10423769_A and examine DNA ...
