A lzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia, has complex genetic and environmental causes. A new study that combined data from four large analyses of the disease has suggested that one ...

Potentially more than 90% of Alzheimer's disease cases would not occur without the contribution of a single gene (APOE), according to a new analysis led by UCL researchers. The scientists also found ...

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 3, 2025, titled "APOE genotype and biological age impact inter-omic associations related to bioenergetics." In this ...

Most Alzheimer's disease and nearly half of all dementia was associated with variations in the APOE gene, a study of 470,000 older adults suggested. In all-cause dementia, the two alleles were linked ...

Some seniors may carry a protective gene that keeps their minds decades younger.

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