ALZHEIMER: NEW GENETIC RISK FACTOR DISCOVERED IN BOLOGNA
(AGI) – Bologna July 9 – Professor Federico Licastro of the experimental pathology ward of the University of Bologna has discovered a new factor to value the genetic risk of Alzheimer, related to the metabolism of cholesterol. His study was conducted in collaboration with the Don Gnocchi Foundation and the San Raffaele hospital in Milan and involved 327 patients (335 checks were carried out). The genetic component (a polymorphic form of the HMGCoA gene) and other known genetic factors can be used to estimate the individual risk of the illness before it starts to develop.
When this hits the mainstream American media I fully expect half the headlines will include speculation about the recall of luncheon meat.
Mad cow, swine flue, and now bologna? Is nothing safe anymore?
