Study finds heart disease and Alzheimer’s could have genetic similarity

Researchers at Edith Cowan University’s Centre for Precision Health discovered a genetic link between Alzheimer’s disease and various heart conditions, including coronary artery disease. Published in the International Journal of Molecular Science, the study highlighted the similarity between genes related to Alzheimer’s and those linked to heart diseases and lipid classes, suggesting common biological origins and potential shared genetic predispositions.
