Largest ever Alzheimer's genome study unveils dementia mysteries
Date:9/6/2009

s kind of innovative research is crucial in piecing together the Alzheimer's puzzle. This study is a huge step towards achieving an earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's and improving the lives of the many people affected by the disease."

The team shared their data with a further French-led study, also published in Nature Genetics, which has revealed compelling evidence for a third gene associated with Alzheimer's called CR1.

The only other genes that have been connected to Alzheimer's disease are in extremely rare cases of familial Alzheimer's disease, which is inherited in less than 1% of cases.
