Abstract
This study investigates the genetic determinants of verbal declarative memory in nondemented older individuals through genome-wide studies within the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium. Leveraging diverse cohorts, the research employs genome-wide association studies to identify genetic variants associated with verbal declarative memory. Preliminary findings highlight significant genetic loci linked to cognitive function, providing insights into the molecular foundations of cognitive aging [1]. The study discusses the collaborative nature of the CHARGE Consortium, emphasizing the potential for these genetic insights to inform personalized interventions for cognitive health in aging populations.
