Genomics Data

Global Screening Array (GSA) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data are available through the National Institute on Aging Genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease Data Storage Site (NIAGADS).

Global Screening Array (GSA) Data

• GWAS Data: Original genotype data from the GSA array (1008 scans from 993 unique subjects, including 960 LASI - DAD subjects).
• 1000 Genomes Imputed Data: Genotype data imputed to the 1000G reference panel (phase 3 v5).
• TopMed Imputed Data: Genotype data imputed to the TOPMed reference panel (r2).

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Data

• Available as part of the Alzheimer’s Disease Sequencing Program Umbrella Release 4.

Neuroimaging Data

Neuroimaging data for a subsample of Wave 1 respondents (N=137) are available through the Image and Data Archive (IDA) hosted by the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at the University of Southern California.

• Available Modalities: MRI data in DICOM or NIFTI formats.
• Access: Permission can be requested by signing and submitting a data use application.
