Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in aging individuals. Alternative splicing is reported to be relevant to AD development while their roles in etiology of AD remain largely elusive. We performed a comprehensive splicing transcriptome-wide association study (spTWAS) using intronic excision expression genetic prediction models of 12 brain tissues developed through three modelling strategies, to identify candidate susceptibility splicing introns for AD risk. A total of 111,326 (46,828 proxy) cases and 677,663 controls of European ancestry were studied. We identified 343 associations of 233 splicing introns (143 genes) with AD risk after Bonferroni correction (0.05/136,884 = 3.65 × 10
