Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have shown that genetic messages are misplaced in nerve cells in a model ...

No one knows the exact cause of Alzheimer's disease, but scientists do know that genes are involved. For many years, researchers have looked for specific genes that affect how likely you are to ...

R136S, or the “Christchurch mutation,” appears to protect against Alzheimer’s disease by suppressing inflammatory signaling ...

Researchers looked at a gene that is critical to regulating the body’s iron levels. A common genetic variant is linked to a ...

There are genetic tests that may be useful for people affected by dementia. Read more about genetic testing for dementia – what it involves, what it can help with and when it is covered on the NHS.

One of the most common genes associated with Alzheimer's has now been linked to loss of smell. The discovery may offer a new ...

Alzheimer's genes: A countdown to onset. For a long time, scientists have understood that the accumulation of longer Aβ peptides in the brain may be involved in triggering the molecular and ...
