5 The new Alzheimer's gene researchers find

In the largest study of its kind, the researchers-links of the most common form of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, four new genes identified at the onset. An additional study, previously identified genes and found that one-fifth. Genetic data analysis in the first study of the science journal Nature Genetics, Sunday.In, both out-of-study by the National Institute of health show Fund 54,000 people supply, researchers drew-rest of about 20,000 people had Alzheimer's disease and cognitive usually known as Alzheimer's disease Genetics Consortium Group lead author Gerard Schellenberg, pathology of clinical examination medicine medical research 44 say in implementing Philadelphia.The, Professor, University of Pennsylvania School of scientists from other universities and research institutions, United States. Consortium in the second study reported by American, British, France and other European countries, fifth gene identification assistance. I have been since 1985, the genetics of Alzheimer's disease, and this is happening, but have to say the most exciting events. "Schellenberg said. And the risk of Alzheimer's disease genes have been up to this point, five known essentially doubled because know about people's genes. He says as the cause of Alzheimer's becomes a new clue to each new gene. Create new research findings drug still do not show symptoms high-risk individuals with distinguished scientists... "is a black box of the brain. Patient is alive, and poke around after someone dies of some images is, why someone has Alzheimer's disease try to figure out whether "there, with whom he says it to get to improved ability to predict this can. Current treatments are limited, prevention or cure brain wasting condition William-Thies says isn't, officer of the Alzheimer's Association Chief, health care and science. A new study offers hope, experts in the field "and says. It was a huge and expensive work and scope unprecedented not, "says Scott Turner, Georgetown University Medical Center, memory disorders program director. "Make insights we further disease mechanisms. "Before it can be found from the public is still in between. "This is a very basic science. The breakthrough is a few steps from a clinically meaningful. Genes can be associated with disease in some way, but something? Pick up Gary Kennedy of Alzheimer's disease expert says Division geriatric psychiatric medicine Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, N.Y.The the author's second Director, the Director David Bennett, rush Alzheimer's disease center Rush University Medical Center, Chicago: "sick cause it only first step in understanding the biology of what kind," says he is. "Of the tasks for the entire cascade. Involved in these studies, many of the genetics of Alzheimer's disease researchers soon too large for effective like says Schellenberg, are coming together to study. It is known as the international Alzheimer's genomics projects. By Member Paris.For in November for the first time reprints and permissions for more information, our frequently asked questions, see.
