The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
people may know a Bowie is one of the April of proteins that we have in our bodies a Bowie 3 is the sort of genetic polymorphism that is associated with the baseline risk of Alzheimer's and anybody for allele increases your risk of Alzheimer's but it's not deterministic right there are plenty of people with a belief for alleles who do not get Alzheimer's and then there's an able to allele which appears to decrease your risk of Alzheimer's
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
having two copies of before does absolutely not mean you're gonna get the disease and it's a polygenic risk when it comes to the disease
as you said with alzheimer's disease the genes play a much bigger role but they're not deterministic at all
it's not a deterministic gene and that's I think just look something someone like me can take for granted because I'm sort of in this space I understand that but I think that's a that's a hard concept to explain to somebody who doesn't eat sleep and breathe genetics which is you have this Gene and it doesn't guarantee this thing is going to happen
ap4 is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease or early Alzheimer's disease just to give you an example of how devastating it can be um for particular people who have combinations of AP board and other other genetic mutations that increase their risk for early Alzheimer's disease
