Alzheimer's research portals
"Curated AD research news and the NIA genetics data hub."
About the resource
AlzForum, run by the Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation since 1996, is the leading curated news and database resource for Alzheimer's-disease research. Its Mutations Database catalogues variants in APP, PSEN1, PSEN2, MAPT, TREM2 and other AD-associated genes with pathogenicity assessments, expert commentary and the literature trail.
NIAGADS — the National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer's Disease Data Storage Site, run at the University of Pennsylvania — hosts NIA-funded AD genetics data: WES, WGS, GWAS, transcriptomics. Access to individual-level data is governed by NIAGADS Data Sharing Service approval.
