Hispanics/Latinos have higher prevalence and incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias compared to non-Hispanic Whites, but their representation in genetic studies remains insufficient. We will collect extensive clinical information and will generate biomarkers and sequencing data in ~6,000 Hispanics/Latinos across the Americas (USA, Peru and Bolivia).
GLASS will increase the representation of Hispanics/Latinos in genetic studies of dementia.
