Gene Accessibility May Explain Why Alzheimer’s Gene APOE4 is Less Dangerous for People of African Descent
Researchers at the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have found that variations in chromatin accessibility, and thus gene expression, may explain why people of European descent with APOE4 gene variants have a greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people of African descent with...
