37. Neuroepigenetics of Alzheimer's

There are some genetic factors that researchers have identified in possibly playing a role in the development of AD. The apolipoprotein (APOE) gene, which plays a role in cholesterol transport has been shown to be linked with AD. There are 3 forms or alleles of this gene, e2, e3, and e4, and one allele is inherited from each parent resulting in six possible outcomes. For example, inheriting an e4 allele of this gene may increase one’s risk of developing AD, while the e2 form may lower one’s risk. Several studies have been conducted to determine the frequency of these alleles in patients with results ranging from 54-65% of people with AD in the US had at least one copy of the APOE-4 gene. However, it is important to note that having this gene does not mean that individuals will develop AD, other genes and epigenetic factors contribute to the development of AD as well.
