Without this one gene, up to 93 percent of Alzheimer’s disease cases would not happen: "It is a natural target"
Variants in a gene called APOE have long been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and dementia, but a new study suggests ...
A lzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia, has complex genetic and environmental causes. A new study that ...
ApoE research is not just about its three main alleles. You may have heard the words Christchurch and Jacksonville in connection with ApoE, but did you know that well over 100 variants have been ...
Philadelpia, January 26, 2022 – Researchers exploring dementia-related proteins in the brain identified Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as a key misfolded protein. About 25% of individuals, and 50% of ...
The APOE4 gene is the most powerful genetic factor driving a person's risk for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease. "It probably increases your risk two or threefold if you have one APOE4 copy, ...
People with ApoE3 Christchurch variant stave off even autosomal-dominant Alzheimer’s disease by keeping neurofibrillary tangles at bay. Could people born without this protective mutation reap its ...
New research led by scientists at Mass Eye and Ear and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, member hospitals of Mass General Brigham, reveals the role that a genetic variant associated with Alzheimer’s ...
Researchers have demonstrated that the APOE4 gene variant, which increases risk for Alzheimer's but decreases risk of glaucoma, blocks a disease cascade that leads to the destruction of retinal ...
