Largest genetic study on Alzheimer’s identifies 48 new risk lociA large-scale international study, led by Danielle Posthuma and carried out by Douglas Wightman and Emil Uffelmann from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, resulted in the identification of 127 regions in human DNA associated with the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, 48 of which had not previously been mapped in this context. Their findings provide researchers with a deeper understanding of the biological processes that contribute to the onset of the disease and may aid in the development of new therapies.
