Scientists have discovered a new gene mutation that could contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. It was known that specific genetic mutations were linked to early-onset forms of Alzheimer’s, but some patients have no mutations on the genes. To understand this, researchers looked at the genes of 130 families suffering from early-onset forms of Alzheimer’s. Of these families, 116 presented the known mutations, but the remaining 14 did not. Researchers then studied the...
