AbstractIntroductionWe conducted Japanese Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (J‐ADNI) and compared the basic characteristics and progression profiles with those of ADNI in North America.MethodsA total of 537 Japanese subjects with normal cognition, late amnestic mild cognitive impairment (LMCI), or mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) were enrolled using the same criteria as ADNI. Rates of changes in representative cognitive or functional measures were compared for amyloid positron emission tomography‐ or cerebrospinal fluid amyloid β(1–42)‐positive LMCI and mild AD between J‐ADNI and ADNI.ResultsAmyloid positivity rates were significantly higher in normal cognition of ADNI but at similar levels in LMCI and mild AD between J‐ADNI and ADNI. Profiles of decline in cognitive or functional measures in amyloid‐positive LMCI in J‐ADNI (n = 75) and ADNI (n = 269) were remarkably similar, whereas those in mild AD were milder in J‐ADNI (n = 73) compared with ADNI (n = 230).DiscussionThese results support the feasibility of bridging of clinical trials in the prodromal stage of AD between Asia and western countries.

Abstract Introduction Genetic loci for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been identified in whites of European ancestry, but the genetic architecture of AD among other populations is less understood. Methods We conducted a transethnic genome‐wide association study (GWAS) for late‐onset AD in Stage 1 sample including whites of European Ancestry, African‐Americans, Japanese, and Israeli‐Arabs assembled by the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium. Suggestive results from Stage 1 from novel loci were followed up using summarized results in the International Genomics Alzheimer's Project GWAS dataset. Results Genome‐wide significant (GWS) associations in single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)–based tests ( P < 5 × 10 −8 ) were identified for SNPs in PFDN1/HBEGF , USP6NL/ECHDC3 , and BZRAP1‐AS1 and for the interaction of the (apolipoprotein E) APOE ε4 allele with NFIC SNP. We also obtained GWS evidence ( P < 2.7 × 10 −6 ) for gene‐based association in the total sample with a novel locus, TPBG ( P = 1.8 × 10 −6 ). Discussion Our findings highlight the value of transethnic studies for identifying novel AD susceptibility loci.
