For more than 30 years, Alzheimer’s researchers have thought of APOE4 as a major genetic risk factor for most cases of the devastating neurologic disease. But a new study published on Monday ...
Having two copies of a gene long believed to increase risk of Alzheimer’s disease may actually be a “new genetic form” of the degenerative neurological disease. That’s according to a new study that ...
Scientists have long known a gene called APOE4 is one of many things that can increase people’s risk for Alzheimer’s, including simply getting older. The vast majority of Alzheimer’s cases ...
