Researchers discover new gene linked to Alzheimer’s risk
Two groups of researchers have identified a gene mutation that is involved in Alzheimer’s, they believe through the immune system’s role in protecting against the disease. The researchers say this discovery provides clues to how and why Alzheimer’s progresses and may raise risk of the disease by about three times. (The mutation, however, is quite rare.) These new studies advance our knowledge of the genetics of Alzheimer’s and demonstrate real progress in basic research to discover the causes of the disease.
