![Newly-Discovered Gene Variant , Could Help Prevent or Treat , Alzheimer's Disease.<br/>'Newsweek' reports that scientists have uncovered <br/>a genetic variant that has the potential to reduce <br/>the odds of developing Alzheimer's by as much as 70%.<br/>The discovery could reportedly lead to new methods to <br/>effectively treat or prevent the disease which impacts <br/>approximately 5.8 million people in the United States alone.<br/>Some genetic variants have been found to have an <br/>association with an increased likelihood of developing <br/>the disease, while other variants offer protection. .<br/>A team from Columbia University found that <br/>genes involved with the production of fibronectin <br/>play a crucial role in developing Alzheimer's.<br/>Healthy individuals usually only have fibronectin present <br/>in small amounts along their blood-brain barrier, while <br/>those with Alzheimer's have much higher quantities.<br/>It's a classic case of too much <br/>of a good thing.
