AD genetic risk factors

Alzheimer's disease (AD) can have genetic risk factors that make some people more likely to develop the condition. The most known gene associated with AD is APOE-e4. Having one or more copies of this gene increases the risk of getting Alzheimer's, but it doesn't guarantee it. Other genes may also play a role in the disease's development. While genetics can influence the likelihood of Alzheimer's, environmental factors and lifestyle choices, like diet and exercise, are also important. Understanding these risks helps in early detection and potentially in prevention strategies.
