AKAP9 and Alzheimer disease: Whole exome sequencing analysis performed on seven African American AD cases, (Logue et al., 2014) has led to find two new rare variants in AKAP9 (A-kinase anchor protein nine gene) potentially associated with AD, that in the replica population from the AD Genetics Consortium showed a strong association (rs144662445, OR = 2.75; rs149979685, OR = 3.61).
