Abstract
This project will investigate the relationship between genetic variants and susceptibility to Late Onset Alzheimer’s. By leveraging publicly available datasets that show statistically significant associations between genetic markers and disease occurrence, this project will contribute to a deeper understanding of how specific genetic factors contribute to a disease.
