Abstract Background Specific peripheral proteins have been implicated to play an important role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the roles of additional novel protein biomarkers in AD etiology remains elusive. The availability of large-scale AD GWAS and plasma proteomic data provide the resources needed for the identification of causally relevant circulating proteins that may serve as risk factors for AD and potential therapeutic targets. Methods We established and validated genetic prediction models for protein levels in plasma as instruments to investigate the associations between genetically predicted protein levels and AD risk. We studied 71,880 (proxy) cases and 383,378 (proxy) controls of European descent. Results We identified 69 proteins with genetically predicted concentrations showing associations with AD risk. The drugs almitrine and ciclopirox targeting ATP1A1 were suggested to have a potential for being repositioned for AD treatment. Conclusions Our study provides additional insights into the underlying mechanisms of AD and potential therapeutic strategies. |
