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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
