Abstract
The hallmark lesions of Alzheimer Disease (AD) include tangles and plaques; however, these seldom appear alone. Lesions of AD‐related dementias such as vascular dementias and Lewy body dementias often co‐occur with AD. These co‐occurring lesions and total lesion burden are associated with a higher likelihood of dementia and severe cognitive impairment. Even amongst other lesions, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) presents a strong risk for more severe cognitive impairment. CAA also shows moderate correlations to AD (rho = 0.31), suggesting that CAA pathology could present an underlying or related process of AD pathology. We hypothesize that there is a genetic overlap between CAA and AD and therefore we investigate the influence of known AD genes on CAA.
