Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers ...

An epidemiology study finds variations in one gene, APOE, play a major role in determining the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

More than 9 out of 10 Alzheimer's cases could be driven by specific variations in a single gene and the protein it produces, ...

The role of ApoE has been well-studied outside of the cell, but what happens after it’s let inside? Scientists led by Raimund Dutzler, University of Zurich, have identified Tweety homologue 2 as an ...

A study has found that without the contribution of a specific gene, nine out of ten cases of Alzheimer’s disease - and half ...

Since the identification of Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 as the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD), it has served as a critical marker for predicting disease susceptibility.

A large population-level analysis led by researchers at University College London has suggested that common variants of the ...

People often worry they will get Alzheimer’s disease if their parents did. But engaging in a healthy lifestyle can outweigh ...

Using the largest sample of super-agers to date, scientists have found convincing evidence that supports what many of us have ...
