Studies have long shown that if you carry two copies of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) 4 gene, your chances of developing Alzheimer’s disease are much higher. Now, researchers say in a new study ...
That’s the question many researchers and doctors are facing after a group of Alzheimer’s disease researchers recently suggested that genetics alone could identify in advance up to 20% of the ...
A new study conducted by researchers in Spain has revealed that people who carry two copies of an Alzheimer’s risk gene could have a significantly higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
As the F.D.A. considers a new Alzheimer’s medication, we asked experts how the rollout of a similar drug has gone.
Scientists may be one step closer to a cure for Alzheimer’s after working out who is most likely to get the disease. Researchers have discovered almost all individuals with two copies of a ...
These statistics amplify the remarkable and noteworthy nature of Nicholls's achievement in reversing his symptoms of ...
WASHINGTON — 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 ...
