ABSTRACT Background The genetic component of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD), accounting for ∼10% all (AD) cases, is largely unexplained. Recent studies suggest that EOAD may be enriched variants acting in the lipid pathway. Objective To examine shared heritability between and pathway by genome-wide multi-trait covariance analyses. Methods Summary statistics were obtained from GWAS meta-analyses Disease Genetics Consortium ( n =19,668) five blood traits Global Lipids =1,320,016), analyses performed via SUPERGNOVA. Genes linkage disequilibrium (LD) with top hits identified regions scored ranked causality combining evidence gene-based analysis, AD-risk scores incorporating transcriptomic proteomic evidence, eQTL data, colocalization analyses, DNA methylation single-cell RNA sequencing Results Local 3 at least one trait. Gene prioritization nominated likely causative genes these loci: ANKDD1B , CUZD1 MS4A64 . Conclusion current study lipids, providing further architecture mechanistic pathways two traits.
