  ABSTRACT: Introduction Hispanic/Latino populations are underrepresented in Alzheimer Disease (AD) genetic studies. Puerto Ricans (PR), a three-way admixed (European, African, and Amerindian) population is the second-largest Hispanic group in the continental US. We aimed to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and comprehensive analyses to identify novel AD susceptibility loci and characterize known AD genetic risk loci in the PR population. Materials and methods Our study included Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and phenotype data from 648 PR individuals (345 AD, 303 cognitively unimpaired). We used a generalized linear-mixed model adjusting for sex, age, population substructure, and genetic relationship matrix. To infer local ancestry, we merged the dataset with the HGDP/1000G ref
