The Obesity Related Gene, FTO, Interacts with APOE, and is Associated with Alzheimer's Disease Risk: A Prospective Cohort Study

14 Feb 2011

Abstract excerpt

The FTO gene has been shown to have a small but robust effect on body mass index (BMI) and to increase the risk for diabetes. Both high BMI and diabetes are vascular risk factors that might play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia. Thus, our aim was to explore the impact of FTO on AD and dementia risk. Nine years of follow-up data was gathered from the Kungsholmen project, a...
