New Genetic Variant Identified as Clear Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease

New research has identified the APOE4 gene variant as a clear cause of Alzheimer’s disease, with individuals having two copies at increased risk. Dr. Juan Fortea’s study suggests that having two copies of APOE4 may not only increase the chances of developing Alzheimer’s but could actually be a direct cause of the disease. This discovery opens up avenues for targeted research and interventions, potentially leading to early diagnosis and tailored treatments for affected individuals.
