A study from North Carolina State University has found that environmentally caused alterations to specific areas of the genome—known as imprint control regions—during early development may contribute to the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and that Black people may be more affected than white people.
Study explores role of epigenetics, environment in differing Alzheimer's risk between Black and white communities retrieved 14 May 2024 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-explores-role-epigenetics-environment-differing.html
