216 - Familial Mutations, New Variants & More Genetic Insights: August 2021

<p>Buckle down and get ready for a lengthy episode on the most recently discovered familial mutations and variants related to Alzheimer's disease. With Glory as your host, we'll take a look at different variants in genes that may make you more or less susceptible to developing AD. A large chunk of the episode will cover single nucleotide polymorphisms that have been found in various populations and correlate with neurodegenerative disease. You’ll also hear about genetic mutations in patients or families that researchers have linked to familial AD.  </p><p> </p><p>Sections in this episode:  </p><p>SNPs and risk variants (3:18)</p><p>Sex-specific genetic factors (15:56)</p><p>Genomics studies (19:51)</p><p>Familial AD mutations - Presenilin (25:20)</p><p>Familial AD mutations - Amyloid-Beta/APP (30:41)</p><p><br /> </p><p>-------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>You can find the numbered bibliography for this episode by clicking <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/125R3KGNmz9YKj0ruLo2XNIy8eDre5yHE/view?usp=sharing">here</a>, or the link below:</p><p>https://drive.google.com/file/d/125R3KGNmz9YKj0ruLo2XNIy8eDre5yHE/view?usp=sharing</p><p>To access the folder with all the bibliographies for 2021 so far, follow <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N1zx_itPkCDNYE1yFGZzQxDDR-NiRx3p?usp=sharing">this link</a> (it will be updated as we publish episodes and process bibliographies), or click the following link below:</p><p>https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1N1zx_itPkCDNYE1yFGZzQxDDR-NiRx3p?usp=sharing</p><p>You can also join our mailing list to receive a newsletter by filling <a href="https://forms.gle/CVVbznAFM8pamdgk6">this form. </a></p><p>Or tweet at us: @AMiNDR_podcast  </p><p>--------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Follow-up on social media for more updates!</p><p>Facebook:  <a href="https://www.facebook.com/amindrpodcast">AMiNDR</a>  </p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/AMiNDR_podcast">@AMiNDR_podcast</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href=
