# Alzheimer's Disease Task Force

Chairs: Paavo Häppölä (FinnGen), John Eicher (GSK)

**Main Scientific questions**

1. Conduct a pilot study to assay blood-based biomarker changes over time generated by NULISA in TWINGEN.
   1. Compare NULISA results to extant biomarker data previously generated with other technologies (e.g., SIMOA, Olink).
   2. Perform analyses of longitudinal biomarker data in pilot study (eg association with cognition & candidate genes)
   3. Evaluate for extension to full-scale study
2. Complete feasibility/pilot analyses using MRI data with deprioritization for a fuller analysis

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.finngen.fi/finngen-data-specifics/disease-specific-task-forces-and-interest-groups/alzheimers-disease-task-force.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
