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 ...
Before APOE4, the only gene changes recognized to cause Alzheimer’s were associated with early-onset forms of the disease and with Down’s syndrome. They accounted for about 2% of Alzheimer’s ...
Research has shown that people with two APOE4 genes have a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The study, published in Nature ...
APOE4 gene mutation may play a more significant role in Alzheimer’s disease than previously thought Individuals with two copies of APOE4 gene have a substantially higher risk of developing ...
For the first time, researchers have identified a genetic form of late-in-life Alzheimer's disease - in people who inherit two copies of a worrisome gene. Scientists have long known a gene called ...
