TL;DR: Meta-analyses of all data provided compelling evidence that ABCA7 and the MS4A gene cluster are new Alzheimer's disease susceptibility loci and independent evidence for association for three loci reported by the ADGC, which, when combined, showed genome-wide significance.

TL;DR: Although CLU and PICALM were confirmed to be associated with AD in this independent sample, they did not improve the ability of a model that included age, sex, and APOE to predict incident AD.

TL;DR: Independent evidence from two large studies demonstrates that these processes related to cholesterol metabolism and the innate immune response are aetiologically relevant, and suggests that they may be suitable targets for novel and existing therapeutic approaches.
