Machine learning in Alzheimerโ€™s disease genetics - Nature Communications Here the authors apply machine learning approaches to Alzheimerโ€™s genetics, confirm known associations and suggest novel risk loci. These methods demonstrate predictive power comparable to traditional approaches, while also offering potential new insights beyond standard genetic analyses.

AI identifies new genetic factors in Alzheimer's research.
