BIN1 and Alzheimer disease: Of the nine genes with statistically independent transcriptome-wide association signals, seven are located in known Alzheimer’s disease risk loci: BIN1, PTK2B, SPI1, MS4A4A, MS4A6E, APOE and PVR. The transcriptome-wide association signal for MS4A6E, PTK2B and PVR and the direction of effect replicated in an independent genome-wide association studies.
