Research team identifies new Alzheimer's gene

Researchers identify a common gene that appears to increase a person's risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.

A study comparing more genetic markers in the DNA of people with and without Alzheimer's disease than ever before has enabled researchers to identify a common gene that appears to increase a person's risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. The finding by researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), Banner Alzheimer's Institute, Kronos Science Laboratory, and their collaborative partners, suggests that the gene
