VEGF-family genetic control of vascular-neuronal coupling in vulnerable hippocampal regions should produce a measurable proximal phenotype before late disease pathology. The decisive test is spatial transcriptomics plus vascular imaging ordered against amyloid and tau burden across hippocampal subfields.
The question is likely underpowered or misleading unless analyses preserve the key strata: VEGF, GWAS, VEGF-. Averaging across these strata could convert a causal subpopulation effect into a weak association.
