First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026
Summary
This study collected blood samples from over 2,200 people with dementia (like Alzheimer's) and healthy volunteers to find genes linked to these brain diseases. Researchers compared DNA from patients and their families to discover new genetic causes and risk factors. The goal is to better understand why some people get dementia and how to predict or treat it in the future.
