The neuroscience group at the University of Antioquia announced a new advance in the study to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s.
This important finding was published in The New England Journal of Medicinea renowned medical journal considered the leader in the world.
We suggest: How proud! 4 Paisa universities were among the best in the world
Just with a copy of the Christchurches genetic variant, it is possible to delay Alzheimer’s. This was revealed by a new study by the Antioquia Neuroscience Group.
This important result comes after an investigation of a sample of a group of 1,077 people who are part of the so-called paisa mutation.
The study identified that 27 volunteers who carried not only the mutation but a copy of the variant, showed signs of cognitive decline at age 52, a later age compared to those who did not have a copy of the variant.
The researchers noted that they will scale up these studies to develop protective genes against genetic dementias such as frontotemporal dementia.
