Description
Tanmoy Mondal and co-authors ran a small pilot on how type 2 diabetes may feed Alzheimer's risk. Black Americans bear a heavy share of diabetes in the United States. Few gene studies have looked at this group head-on. The team read gene activity in blood from a small set of patients in the Washington, DC area.
Twelve patients with diabetes were matched with healthy adults of like age and past. A lab panel read genes tied to amyloid build-up and fat use in the blood. Four genes stood out with at least a two-fold shift in the patient group. The shifts pointed to paths for amyloid growth, swelling, and nerve harm. The authors call the work a first step and urge a test in a larger, mixed group of patients.
