Re: E4/E4 carrier new introduction

Any e4/e4 carriers in their 50's 60's or 70's on here that can give me some hope an encouragement? Thank you for reading! *waving* 58 y.o. E4 homozygote here. Cognitively intact (I believe) with an 82 y.o. mother who is at least E4 heterozygote and also cognitively intact. Our genes are not our des...

Re: New study - alcohol and dementia risk

There was no association of alcohol use with dementia risk in APOE4 carriers…in fact the risk ratio was nearly flat across the 4 categories of alcohol intake. Curious. Hazard Ratios: # drinks/week none…..0.1-0.9…..1-7…..7.1-14…..14+ APOE E4 + 0.93……ref=1…….0.74…...0.77…...0.77 APOE E4 - 1.27……ref=1...

Link between walking speed and brain function

No mention of ApoE in this open source paper but a correlation that may be interesting to our community regardless. Question Is gait speed measured at age 45 years associated with accelerated biological aging, neurocognitive function, and cognitive decline? Findings In this 5-decade cohort study of ...

Re: Markers associated with genetic resililience to AD in E4/E4's

They found 2 SNP's that seemed to have "strong evidence" for resilience (CASP7 rs10553596 and SERPINA3 rs4934-A/A). Thanks for posting broiler, I checked on my Promethease results (from my 23&me data), and it didn't have the CASP7 one and for the SERPINA3 it states: "rs4934 incre...

Re: Gene mutation evolved to cope with modern high-sugar diets

I wasn't able to find the CLTCL1 variant information in my genetic reports. Snpedia says its rs1061325 and it is available in my 23andme report. I'm a C/T so it (along with who knows what other snps) might help explain some issues I have with a high fat diet. I seem to need more carbs to feel my be...

Re: Little freaked out, but I suppose it's normal.

So yes, knew this was a possibility for 20 years, but confirmation of risk feels like a whole different thing! Looking forward to chatting with you and reading up on all of your good information. Glad this exists. Hi and welcome. Your subject line says it all I think. It was certainly my response, ...

Anyone seen this or have comments? APOE4 Carriers Have Memory Problems Before the Onset of Alzheimer's Impaired memory-guided attention in asymptomatic APOE4 carriers I don't know about that paper, but coincidentally I got an email yesterday from MindCrowd about a study I participated in (I have no...

Re: Lifestyle changes may not help Apoe4s

I read the article, then clicked to look at the study. I wasn't willing to spend $9 to read it. I would like to find out exactly what kind of lifestyle they considered healthy. I will go back and re-read the article closer but think the study is going to go into the kind of details I'm interested i...

Re: Shock news from 23and me.

Iv`e just had a new report from 23and me. Apparently I have a 22 percent risk of type 2 diabetes on top of all the other diseases that I`m predisposed to. It seems that alzheimers, age related macular degeneration and coeliac disease weren`t enough, Mother nature decided to dump something else on m...
