15% of Alzheimer's cases linked to APOE4 homozygotes.
Researchers discovered a distinct genetic form of Alzheimer's disease linked to having two copies of the APOE4 gene (APOE4 homozygotes), affecting 95% of individuals over 65.
This form, which causes earlier symptoms than others, may account for 15% of Alzheimer's cases.
The findings, based on data from over 10,000 people and 3,000 brain donors, suggest that having two APOE4 copies could be a new genetic form of the disease, requiring specialized treatment and prevention strategies.
