NINETY per cent of Alzheimer’s cases are linked to the same gene, scientists have discovered. About 750,000 people in the UK have the disease and it is the leading cause of dementia. Experts at ...

A single gene could be responsible for more than 90 per cent of Alzheimer's disease cases, new research suggests – a finding that could open the door to a new generation of treatments targeting the ...

Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers ...

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.

Lance Johnson believes that by understanding and safely manipulating this gene, scientists may one day be able to transform the biology of Alzheimer’s rather than just treating its symptoms. (Photo ...

Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes report that a rare genetic variant, known as the “Christchurch mutation,” can block detrimental effects of apolipoprotein E4 (APOE), the best-established risk ...

Scientists at UCL say drug developers should focus on two risk-raising variants of the Apoe gene New therapies for Alzheimer’s disease should target a particular gene linked to the condition, ...
