This project provides exome, genome, and genotyping SNP array data (both pre-imputation and post-imputation) for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Participants are enrolled as either cognitively unimpaired, MCI, or a target of mild dementia and followed longitudinally. The cohort aims to recruit a substantial fraction of self-reported African American / Black participants.
