SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 6 [TNSmedicalresearch] -- The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio issued the following news release:
A new study of 38,537 persons of European ancestry suggests that a rare variation of a gene called APOE may be protective and prolong life, in sharp contrast to a more widely studied APOE variant that increases risk of death.
The findings by the E2-CHARGE consortium of investigators, led by senior investigator Sudha Seshadri, . . .
