N2 - There is tremendous variability in the rate of cognitive decline over the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that cannot be explained by demographic, health, or clinical features, and thus is likely genetic in origin. Determining genetic underpinnings of cognitive decline in AD might help reveal previously unidentified biological pathways responsible for clinical progression. Unfortunately, identification of genetic factors is hampered by the absence of a cohort of longitudinally followed persons with AD of sufficient size from any single study.
