Was Alzheimer's genetic risk underestimated? Nearly threefold 🧬

127 loci (48 new), SNP heritability 16%, and risk converging on microglia and neurons. Congrats to Uffelmann, Posthuma and the PGC-ALZ team in Nature 👇🏻

🔆 If light and deep time stir something in you, join me on my autumnal travels in my camper van where I seek out the last pockets of light - like here at York Minster.

'(...) variant analysis of AD & identified 127 independent loci, of which 48 were new. We applied multiple methodologies to prioritize genes in each locus, many of which were linked to pathways previously implicated in AD, most notably immune processes, microglia function & amyloid catabolism'
Alzheimer’s disease genetics converges on microglial and neuronal dysregulation - Nature
A multi-ancestry study of Alzheimer’s disease identifies new risk loci and potential drug targets, implicates microglia and neurons, and reveals a larger common-variant contribution than previously es...

But these accounts can get confused if you don't keep straight whether we're talking about competition between alternate alleles of a single "gene" or supposed competition between separate gene loci across the genome

But that's very different from a more confused interpretation of competition between different genes (i.e., bits of DNA at different loci). There's no reason to think of genes in this sense competing with each other - they have to cooperate!

So there can only be finitely many divisors of rational cubics. (Though there are infinitely many codim-2 loci.)

Nisi prav vprašal.

New research suggests genes may play a bigger role in Alzheimer's risk than we thought. 🧬🧠 127 genetic risk loci found, including 48 new ones. How could this change prevention and treatment?

Scientists may have underestimated how much genes contribute to Alzheimer's risk

Genetic variation in HLA, IGKV, and HHEX loci influences mRNA vaccine-induced humoral protection against COVID-19
Genetic variation in HLA, IGKV, and HHEX loci influences mRNA vaccine-induced humoral protection against COVID-19
Puzek, Wratil, et al. show that the variation in vaccine-induced protection against COVID-19 links to three genomic loci, including the HLA. The HLA association extends to neutralizing capacity and antibody level variation after a booster dose, as well as to increased vaccine side effects and reduced infections.

I mean yes, there are probably some very specific loci where dockless bikes are a bigger deal - but thats so localised, so bizarrely specific that I question that as a focus for anyone.

And even then, if a variant’s fitness depends on the genotype at other loci then even competition between variants is hard to boil down to a single “selfish” gene imo. I always liked the epistasis objection to the super reductive gene’s eye view
