A new letter in Nature Genetics has shown genetic links of 3 new genes to the onset of Alzheimer’s. The study, featured in the latest edition of the journal, involved 45 different institutions, over 16000 individuals, and is considered the most in-depth and powerful study of its kind. It is expected that these new findings will enhance early detection of the disease and will hopefully provide an outlet for therapy or treatment.
