"92 genes offer hope for Alzheimer's treatment by 2040"

Scientists at Cardiff University have identified 92 genes that significantly increase the risk of having Alzheimer's, providing new hope for a breakthrough treatment within the next 20 years. Gene therapy and an improved understanding from international studies are contributing to experts' increasing knowledge of the disease. Some drugs have already been cleared for use in other Alzheimer's conditions and could be in use within five years. The disease must be considered more like heart disease where many factors contribute, and several therapies will help delay and prevent it.
