A Franco-European research team has identified two factors associated with genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.
Their research is still in the early stages but this discovery could eventually offer hope to millions of sufferers across the world. The genomes of more than 20,000 people were analysed, among them 6,000 individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
Through this research they were able to isolate two new genes that appear to be closely associated with the disease. Their role in the appearance of the disease is not yet known, the report’s authors warn. So caution is needed. And it must be said that numerous routes have already been explored in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease, but without great success. The reason being, that like so many chronic conditions, the disease seems to be linked to complex interactions between genetic and other environmental-type factors.
