Hi Jeff,
I don't work with the GWAS data, but if nobody else responds, you can also try submitting a question directed to the Genetics Core using the Ask the Experts tool on the ADNI website (http://adni.loni.usc.edu/support/experts-knowledge-base/ask-experts/) - someone from the Genetics Core might be able to help!

Dear all,
I came across this forum a while ago and tried the solution suggested above by Danielle of contacting the experts through the ADNI website. Unfortunately, I have not received any feedback yet.
I am currently working with the ADNI SNP/WGS datasets and had a similar question, especially regarding the reference genome/build used across the different ADNI phases (e.g., GRCh37/hg19 or GRCh38), as also previously mentioned by Elena.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help or perhaps share any insights on how to obtain this information.
Best,
Gabriel
Hi Gabriel,
I reached out to the Genetics Core and received the following response - hopefully it is helpful (since I don’t know GWAS!):
I think, GWAS data for ADNI-1 participants were mapped to GRCh36 (hg18) and GWAS data for ADNI-GO/2/3/4 participants were mapped to GRCh37 (hg19). In order to make sure this, please select several SNPs in GWAS data and then check their base positions.

Hi Danielle,
thank you very much for sharing the feedback, I really appreciate it.
I will follow your suggestion and verify this by checking the genomic positions of a subset of SNPs across the datasets.
Just to clarify one additional point, if anyone has any insight: is there any official harmonized liftOver or re-annotation step applied to the ADNI distributed GWAS files, or do the differences in genome build simply reflect the original processing pipelines used in each study phase?
Best,
Gabriel
