multiplex biomarker data and clinical diagnosis was available. Results: Many genetic variants were significantly (p< 5.00E-05) associated with expression levels of the set of 23 serum proteins most diagnostic of Alzheimer’s disease status in both cohorts. Together with genotype data for known genetic risk factors for AD we have performed structural equation modeling to elucidate how many of these factors interact. Conclusions: Genetic variation appears to influence the expression of proteins that are most diagnostic for Alzheimer’s disease. The congruence of DNA and protein data increases our confidence in the strength of Alzheimer’s endophenotypes that were identified by one of these methods alone.
