The World Wide Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Genetic Initiative (WW EOAD Genetics Initiative), a collaborative study involving over 20 research groups globally to investigate Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD) across diverse regions in North America, Europe, and Asia. This work aims to bridge knowledge gaps in identifying genetic markers associated with EOAD. The initiative leverages the foundation laid by the Longitudinal Early-Onset AD Study (LEADS) and expands on it by conducting in-depth genetic analyses of individuals affected by EOAD. All data will be shared broadly with the research community. With funding from the Alzheimer's Association, this study is being led by Dr. Liana Apostolova at Indiana University School of Medicine.
