Whole Exome Sequencing Identifies New Alzheimer’s-Related Genes

Scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine with other researchers on the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) have discovered new genes that could further current understanding of the genetic risk factors that predispose people to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The ADSP was developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in response to the National Alzheimer's Project Act milestones to fight AD.  The team published its study (“ Whole exome seque
