Gene associated with Alzheimer’s also associated with higher fertility
Genetic association between PRSs for Collinsella and APOE rs429358 genotype in the discovery sample. Individuals in the discovery sample were separated by their genotype at the APOE SNP rs429358. Those with the genotype of TC and CC had higher PRSs for genetically predicted Collinsella abundance than those with the TT genotype. Credit: Scientific Reports (2023).
As Davangere Devanand, a neurologist at Columbia University Medical Center, combed through the reams of scientific data on Alzheimer’s, he stumbled across a surprising idea – could an infection be involved in driving the disease?“I was looking for an Alzheimer’s treatment approach that had a reasonable shot of working,” he says. “I found this old
