USC Focuses on Prevention as They Develop Alzheimer's Vaccine

Schneider also spoke about the probability of patients with Alzheimer’s who carry a particular gene called as the apolipoprotein e4 (APOE4), which is inheritable. It was also disclosed that almost 25% of the population has one APOE4 gene, while only three percent has two copies of this gene from each parent. This also indicates that if any of the vaccine or oral medicine works for those having two copies, then it can also be remarkably effective for other people at risk of having Alzheimer’s.
