A new method to predict Alzheimer’s risk has been developed by researchers, who believe that spotting the condition early could help speed up the creation of new treatments for the disease.
The method can help identify those who are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. This means that they could get tested before symptoms appear.
Using a genetic predictor, the researchers looked at 7.1 million common DNA variants and determined an individual's risk based on their specific DNA variants.
