Over 20 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We categorized these loci into immunity, lipid metabolism, and endocytosis pathways, and associated the polygenic risk scores (PRS) calculated, with AD biomarkers in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects.
