Summary

A three-letter sequence repeating along a stretch of DNA could offer new clues about why some people are more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease than others. The sequence, CCG, sits in a region of DNA that controls the gene FAM193B. Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and other institutions recently explored the possibility that differences in this sequence's repetition are associated with Alzheimer's disease.
