# adgenetics.org - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `adgenetics.org` ## Description The Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC) is a collaborative research initiative focused on understanding the genetic factors associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Funded by a five-year, $18.3 million grant from the National Institute on Aging, the consortium conducts genome-wide association studies to identify genes linked to an increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). The grant lists Gerard D. Schellenberg as principal investigator. ADGC brings together members and committees to support its research program. Its work includes core projects and Special Analysis Groups, which undertake focused analyses using consortium data. The website provides information about these activities, along with instructions for proposing a Special Analysis Group project. It also offers collaborative data access resources and details on publications, including research supported by ADGC and publications using ADGC and IGAP summary statistics. The consortium’s site serves researchers and members seeking information about its program, projects, publications, and data-access processes. ADGC is associated with the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and provides an email contact for assistance. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 Biology _(under Science and Education)_ - ⛑ Health - ⛑ Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals _(under Health)_ ## Logos & icons - logo _(primary)_ — PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/id5zfV4-kJ/w/90/h/90/theme/dark/logo.png?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1793656698990) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Kashmir Blue | #516690 | accent | | Stratos | #000034 | dark | | Beige | #f7f5e6 | light | --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
