Summary
Dementia and Aging Research of Taiwan, DART at National Taiwan University (NTU) is a multi-center case-control study in Taipei, Taiwan. A total of 938 participants aged 60 or older (n=292 Alzheimer's disease (AD), n= 143 small-vessel vascular dementia (VaD), and n=503 healthy controls) were included from 2007 to 2011.

Dementia and Aging Research of Taiwan, DART at National Taiwan University (NTU) is a multi-center case-control study in Taipei, Taiwan. A total of 938 participants aged 60 or older (n=292 Alzheimer’s disease (AD), n= 143 small-vessel vascular dementia (VaD), and n=503 healthy controls) were included from 2007 to 2011. This study has genome-wide [using array plates for Han Chinese in Beijing, China (CHB)] and candidate-gene data [including APOE e4 status and 39 SNPs of 12 genes (NINJ2, NGFR, IL-6, TLR4, CHRNA7, CISD2, CLU, CCDC81, CPXM2, APOC1, ZNF521)], information of demography, comorbidities, and leisure activities. GAAIN is funded by the Alzheimer’s Association, USA. It has developed the first operational online integrated research platform, which links scientists, shared data, and sophisticated analysis tools. Our Dementia and Aging Research of Taiwan (DART) has joint GAAIN in September in 2016. We are looking forward to more collaborations via data sharing.
