New Alzheimer's Risk Genes Discovered

In what promises to be a major breakthrough in our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, an international group of scientists has discovered 11 previously unknown genes that increase people's risk of developing this most common cause of dementia.

The study, undertaken by the International Genomics Project (IGAP) and co-led by Cardiff University, Wales, UK, is published online this week in Nature Genetics.

The large group of four teams comes from 145 academic centers around the world and comprises most of the world's experts in the genetics of Alzheimer's.
