Team of researchers finds possible new genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease

physorg.com

Researchers have identified a gene that appears to increase a person's risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of the disease. The gene, abbreviated as MTHFD1L, is on chromosome six, and was identified in a genome-wide association study. Details are published September ...

Studies find possible new genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, April 4, 2011 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)

nih.gov — “Scientists have confirmed one gene variant and have identified several others that may be risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of the disorder. In the largest genome-wide association study, or GWAS, ever conducted in Alzheimer's research, investigators studied DNA samples from more than 56,000 study participants and analyzed shared data sets to detect gene variations that may have subtle effects on the risk for developing Alzheimer's.

Genetic Marker Of Aggressive Alzheimer's Disease Identified By Researchers - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “An international team of Alzheimer's disease experts, led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has uncovered a gene variation that appears to predict the rate at which Alzheimer's disease will progress. The investigators report their findings online in the journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) Genetics. Whereas previous studies have focused on factors that influence the risk for Alzheimer's, the new research points to a way to determine how rapidly Alzheimer's patients maView full resource at qualitypointtech.net
