Novel gene-level GWAS using neural networks with 80:20 train-test split; transcriptomic/proteomic expression differences validated for 10 of 12 new genes in AD vs healthy brains
PRIMARY OUTCOME
GWANN identified 18 genes associated with family history of AD in UK Biobank, including 6 previously known AD genes (APOE, BIN1, SORL1, ADAM10, APH1B, SPI1) and 12 novel genes, with significant enrichment of protein-protein interaction networks and relevant disease pathways.
