We are pleased to share our latest collaborative publication in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, a study led by Dr. Christiane Reitz. The work identifies PHLPP1 as a shared genetic locus, providing new insights into the biological mechanisms linking cerebrovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease and highlighting the importance of studying diverse populations in neurogenetics.
