GWAS and the depths of variation
Large genetic study brings Alzheimer' s closer to early detection and new treatments
One of
the largest genetic studies into Alzheimer's reveals that many more D
NA variants contribute to the risk of the disease than was previously
known. The results by statistical geneticist Emil Uffelmann offer ne
w leads for drug development and could help identify people at increa
sed risk years before the first symptoms appear in the future. This m
arks another important step in unraveling the genetic causes of Alzhe
imer's disease.
