For investigators using The Prediction of Alzheimer’s Disease through Multi-Trait Genetic Modeling data:

The National Institutes of Health, National Institute on Aging (NIH-NIA) supported this work through the following grants: ADGC, U01 AG032984; samples from the National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (NCRAD), which receives government support under a cooperative agreement grant (U24 AG21886) awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), were used in this study. Sequencing data generation and harmonization is supported by the Genome Center for Alzheimer’s Disease, U54AG052427, and data sharing is supported by NIAGADS, U24AG041689. We thank contributors who collected samples used in this study, as well as patients and their families, whose help and participation made this work possible.

The NACC database is funded by NIA/NIH Grant U24 AG072122.
