How does APOE status impact AD risk in Hispanics/Latinos?
Research in A&D report APOE ฮต4 shows a heterogeneous effect on ADRD risk across Hispanic/Latino populations, with the strongest associations in Peruvians/Bolivians #AlzResearch

Took a minute (4 years๐
), but we made it!
We studied the heterogeneity of APOE and Alzheimer's Disease risk using the largest collection of Hispanic/Latino studies - an amazing collective effort๐

Finally out our paper on ptau217 and AD in Peruvian populations!
A huge effort for the GAPP study, an exceptional cohort of participants from Lima, Arequipa and Puno with deep phenotyping, genetics, plasma and serum available for the scientific community!

A new project from our lab!
Fascinating #admixture study on this underrepresented South African population and the risk profile for Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders #FASD.
1% to 5% of U.S. first graders have FASD! @NIAAAnews
