DNA Mapping of Alzheimer’s Patients Gives Deep Dive View

July 5, 2012

July 5, 2012 | Working with $2 million in new grants from the Alzheimer's Association and the Brin Wojcicki Foundation, researchers at the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative will start sequencing the DNA of 800 participants in a study attempting to find the root causes of memory loss. The integration of Alzheimer's patients’ medical history with their genetic makeup will provide an unprecedented view of how the disease emerges and eventually dominates the mind. Bloomberg
