Multi-gene test predicts Alzheimer's better than APOE E4 alone

Multi-gene test predicts Alzheimer's better than APOE E4 alone:

Dementia Big
A new test that combines the effects of more than two dozen genetic variants, most associated by themselves with only a small risk of Alzheimer’s disease, does a better job of predicting which cognitively normal older adults will go on to develop Alzheimer’s dementia than testing only for the well-known genetic variant APOE E4, a scientific team led by researchers at UC San Francisco and UC San Diego has found.
