Common forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are complex and polygenic. We have created a research resource that seeks to capture the extremes of polygenic risk in a collection of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from over 100 donors: the IPMAR Resource (iPSC Platform to Model Alzheimer's Disease Risk). Donors were selected from a large UK cohort of 6,000+ research-diagnosed early or late-onset AD cases and elderly cognitively healthy controls, many of whom have lived through the age of risk for disease development (>85 years). We include iPSC with extremes of global AD polygenic risk (high-risk late-onset AD: 34; high-risk early-onset AD: 29; low-risk control: 27) as well as those reflecting complement pathway-specific genetic risk (high-risk AD: 9; low-risk controls: 10). All iPSC have associated clinical, longitudinal, and genetic datasets and will be available through collaboration or from cell (EBiSC) and data (DPUK) repositories.
