Until recently, only one of the approximately 30,000 genes in
the human genome has been linked to risk of late-onset Alzheimer's
disease (AD). Now, a new NIH-supported study in the Nov. 19, 2007,
issue of "NeuroReport" (now online) used a publicly shared
genome dataset to strongly support findings that variation in the
sequence of the SORL1 gene may be a second risk factor gene for
late-onset disease. Identifying the genes involved in AD ultimately
may help determine who may be at greater risk and enable researchers
to zero in on pathways to develop new treatments.
