USU’s Genome Center Helps Identify Genes That Can Open New Avenues in Dementia Research
Five genes may play a key part in influencing if a person will contract Lewy body dementia, and possibly dementia from Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, according to a study published in Nature Genetics Feb. 15. The genes, BIN1, TMEM175, SNCA, APOE, and GBA, were identified by a team of scientists at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health, and sequenced by The American Genome Center (TAGC), a series of state-of-the-art laboratories at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.
