Abstract excerpt
Recent epidemiological evidence showed that mutations to the HFE-63 allele of this hemochromatosis-associated iron-assimilation protein improve chances of avoiding Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is unexpected since increased brain ferroptosis in gray-matter increases the risk for vascular dementia and AD. However, diffusion tensor imaging from a key Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative biomarker study...
