Columbia University researchers have identified a way to help predict when people at high risk of developing Alzheimer's are ...

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most feared diagnoses among older adults, particularly for those who know they carry a high ...

The study lead told Newsweek that some genes identified in the research could help protect against Alzheimer's.

Genetic risk beyond APOE was linked to cognition, hippocampal volume, amyloid and tau across several ancestry groups.

Researchers built a polygenic risk score from a more diverse database, improving estimates for people often underrepresented in earlier tests.

An estimated 500,000 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States each year, but the causes and mechanisms of the condition remain a neurological mystery. A recent study looked ...

Frequent micro-awakenings during sleep were linked to higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s in healthy middle-aged adults who had no symptoms. The discovery raises the possibility that subtle changes ...

Researchers have long known about the APOE gene. It tells cells how to make a protein called apolipoprotein E. The protein combines with fats called lipids in the body to make molecules called ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Researchers combing the human gene map have found four more areas that affect the risk of Alzheimer's disease and believe the studies are starting to point to new and ...

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. The scientists also found ...

Researchers looked at sleep patterns in older adults to find the connection.
