...discoveries mark a significant step forward in Alzheimer's research - until now, three of the four known genes associated with the disease were connected to the rarer, inherited form, which appears in adults as young as 40 or 50. The three additional genes, identified in the new papers, now tip the balance of genetic understanding in favor of the late onset condition that affects a majority of the 5.3 million patients living with the disease in the U.S. (See how to prevent illness...
