Massive AD GWAS! YEAH!!!

Post by J11 »

https://www.alzforum.org/news/research- ... mers-genes

There is so much potential to totally unlock the AD genome.
With full genome scans approaching ~$100 perhaps full genome sequencing could become common in AD clinical trials
and these sequences (with patient approval) could be analyzed in GWAS. Fully unlocking the full AD GWAS would tell us so much. It really should be done sooner than later.

We know that at a scale of ~1 -2 million everything would be revealed. This isn't an eternal money pit searching a bottomless void.
Basically, $100 million. If we make it a project for the people, might reduce down to scrounging some CPU from morally conscious tech titans and possibly some takeout.

"We also generated a novel polygenic risk score strongly associated with the risk of future dementia or progression from mild cognitive impairment to dementia."

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101 ... 2.full.pdf

Whoa!
I believe them.

This could start to move the ball forward for clinical trials.
We could see precise genetic selection of those who would be most likely to benefit in a clinical trial.
AD clinical trials used to have ~40% of AD patients who did not have AD.
Then they introduced amyloid positive inclusion requirements; yet even then a significant percentage of patients
would not progress during a 78 week trial. Finding the right patients could make a very large difference.

This is so great!

I have my full genome sequence being processed and I have R code that can extract genotypes and effortlessly compute polygenic scores! Yeah this is great! This AD polygenic score from the massive AD GWAS will probably be at the top of the list. Yet, the funny thing is that this GWAS does not appear to include the gene that drives the dementia in my family. I have quite a few genetic relatives that I can contact about this to confirm. I'll share the code when I have my sequence on file. Perhaps we can all explore this wondrous world of the genome together and make it easy to unlock its mysteries.

WOW! Wish I had time to delve but need to get back to the day's to-do list.
Carlos Cruchaga at Washington University in St. Louis called the work a tour de force.

circ, I am surprised that more effort has not been put into completing the genetics of AD. My impression is that many there are many people out there who do not have a good understanding of the genetic origins of their family's dementia. The cost savings related to genetically selecting against AD embryos could be extremely large. Why governments have not perceived that AD GWAS is strongly in their self-interests is not immediately obvious to me. One could imagine the top 30 nations committing to collecting 10,000 AD genotypes over 5 years that would pretty much unlock the AD genome. The actual cost to do this would be minimal. The political payback of at least appearing to do something would be immediate. Sometimes life is not easy to understand. Probably the best way to explain this is that the default in life is to do nothing- if you do nothing then at least no one can say that you actively made a mistake. It needs a sharper cookie to recognize that doing nothing can also be a mistake.

Here's the Manhattan plot so you don't have to get a sore neck.
Notice the genes shown in red: Those are the newly discovered genes!
The sample size is still smallish ~100K and they are on an exponential growth path.
There must be a great deal of variants still to find.

I am anxiously waiting for another AD by proxy GWAS.
Simply ask those in a large GWAS if they have a family history of AD.
This was done in UKBB and there were many with an Alzheimer family history.
The Million Veteran study is nearing enrollment; this would be another
large GWAS that could use the proxy GWAS method.

Have you heard of any companies thinking that they will offer this type of scoring?
