Status:Approved
ID:DIAN-D2003
Aim 1:1. To extend our study on sex differences to other ADAD mutations and confirm our preliminary findings in a much larger sample of ADAD mutation carriers;
Aim 2:2. To inform power calculations for appropriate sample size, based on estimated effects, for an upcoming 2020 grant submission on sex differences in ADAD (i.e. career development award of postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Vila-Castelar).
Aim 3:3. To examine sex differences in ADAD mutation carriers at different clinical stages, from asymptomatic to symptomatic stages, with available biomarker and imaging data, and compare with age-matched noncarriers, which is not yet available in our group.
