Linkage and association of preserved cognitive function in the midwestern Amish at a higher genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Genetic factors promoting cognitive preservation in high‐risk older adults for Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk remain understudied. Among Midwestern Amish with elevated AD genetic risk, we hypothesized ranking sibships by mean genetic risk scores during linkage analysis would reveal loci influencing preserved cognition.
