Despite carrying a genetic mutation associated with early-onset #Alzheimer’s, a man remained free of dementia symptoms for at least 2 decades longer than expected 👉 genetic variants may explain this remarkable resilience. See more here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A man was destined for early Alzheimer’s — these genes might explain his escape

Scientists identify nine genetic variants that could have helped a man to avoid dementia for at least two decades longer than expected.
