Depression and sleep links to protein build-up varied by genetic risk

An observational study of 110 adults aged 65–88 with depression found separate, additive links to amyloid, a protein, only in carriers of a genetic variant.An observational study of 110 adults aged 65–88 with depression found separate, additive links to amyloid, a protein, only in carriers of a genetic variant.

Genetic risk scores linked to faster progression to Alzheimer’s

In two observational cohorts, genetic scores were linked to faster progression to Alzheimer’s disease, with hazard ratios, a measure of risk over time, of 1.25 to 2.02.In two observational cohorts, genetic scores were linked to faster progression to Alzheimer’s disease, with hazard ratios, a measure of risk over time, of 1.25 to 2.02.
