Researchers have identified a genetic form of late-in-life Alzheimer’s disease for the first time, which occurs in people inheriting two copies of the APOE4 gene. APOE4 is known to increase the ...
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 ...
APOE4 has long been labeled the biggest genetic risk factor for late-in-life Alzheimer’s, with two copies risker than one. About 2% of the global population is estimated to have inherited a copy ...
A new study finds that possessing two copies of a specific gene mutation that’s common in Alzheimer’s disease may be the cause behind the disease in those people. Previously, researchers knew ...
WASHINGTON — For the first time, researchers have identified a genetic form of late-in-life Alzheimer’s disease — in people ...
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 ...
Genes known to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s may actually be an inherited form of the disorder, researchers say. WASHINGTON — For the first time, researchers have identified a genetic form ...
