People often worry they will get Alzheimer’s disease if their parents did. But engaging in a healthy lifestyle can outweigh ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, an international team of researchers developed a novel approach to infer parent-of-origin (PofO) of alleles without parental genomes. Genome-wide ...

Imagine your doctor calls you to discuss the results of your genetic testing. They tell you your results indicate you are highly likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. But not to worry, because they ...

Humanized mouse models are essential for investigating human gene function; however, the complete replacement of mouse genes ...

Variants of APOE gene, that control brain waste clearance are linked to 90% of Alzheimer’s cases. Targeting its protein can critically prevent dementia risk.
