ApoE4 has long been understood to boost Alzheimer’s risk. For the first time, scientists studied this Alzheimer’s risk factor gene in the American Indian…
Being Patient takes a closer look at two rare childhood illnesses that lead to dementia. The term “childhood Alzheimer’s” suggests that it is a…
A study found that common genetic variants of a gene called OAS1, which have been associated with higher Alzheimer’s risk, also led to an…
Andres Martin, 34, discovered he has the Jalisco mutation—a rare genetic mutation that causes early-onset familial Alzheimer’s. Here’s how it unlocked a mystery about…
Research shows that ApoE4, the greatest genetic risk factor of Alzheimer’s, may make people more vulnerable to COVID-19. But scientists say we can’t leap…
Researchers have identified a gene called Presenilin1, or PSEN1, as a potential new biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. In mice and human samples, the researchers…
In the first study published about Alzheimer’s disease among identical triplets, researchers in Canada suggest that the development of dementia is not exclusively linked…
