The prediction strength of APOE for Alzheimer’s Disease in the Latinx Population
Description
This project uses All of Us Data to analyze how well of a predictor APOE ε4 is in the Latinx community, a high grandparent care community. APOE is used as a predictor for Alzheimer’s disease, but it is unknown, due to the lack of studies, how strong of a predictor it will be for Latinx individuals. This project aims to understand if the increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease among Hispanics is associated with a different level of ε4 gene frequency.
