Four New Genes for Alzheimer--™s Disease Risk Identified by Alzheimer--™s Disease Consortium

newswise.com

In the largest study of its kind, researchers from a consortium of 44 universities and research institutions in the United States, including Rush University Medical Center, identified four new genes linked to Alzheimer--™s disease. Each gene individually adds to the risk of having this common form of dementia later in life.

Spontaneous gene glitches linked to autism risk with older dads, April 4, 2012 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)

nih.gov — “Researchers have turned up a new clue to the workings of a possible environmental factor in: fathers were four times more likely than mothers to transmit tiny, spontaneous mutations to their children with the disorders. Moreover, the number of such transmitted genetic glitches increased with paternal age. The discovery may help to explain earlier evidence linking autism risk to older fathers.View full resource at nih.gov

Antioxidants may not help people with Alzheimer's - Yahoo! News

news.yahoo.com — “From Yahoo! News: NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Daily use of antioxidants including vitamin C and vitamin E didn't improve thinking and memory skills in people with Alzheimer's disease, in a new study. Researchers found that some patients taking antioxidants actually had faster declines in memory over the four-month study compared to those who were given vitamin-free placebo pills. Some reports have suggested that older adults who eat a diet rich in antioxidants may have a lower risk of getting AlView full resource at news.yahoo.com
