摘要
In the present review, we look back at the recent history of GWAS (genome-wide association studies) in AD (Alzheimer's disease) and integrate the major findings with current knowledge of biological processes and pathways. These topics are essential for the development of animal models, which will be fundamental to our complete understanding of AD.
