Alzheimer's "Genes". Another Faux Replication

I will make the same point for this GWAS for Alzheimer's Disease. Again, we have an example of meta-analysis, with new data that has never been studied independently folded into previous studies with a claim of more loci "discovered" and, as one person noted, "the gold standard in field," for replication.  It's amazing how they have watered down replication and now try to call this a gold standard.
