Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting millions of people worldwide. It causes a gradual decline in memory, thinking, and communication skills, significantly impacting the quality of life for both patients and their families. Although it is often associated with old age, cases like Fraser’s—a 41-year-old teacher from Australia—highlight that the disease can appear earlier than expected. In his YouTube video, which has already garnered over 110,000 views, Fraser talks about his experience and emotions.
Genetic predisposition & the role of the APOE4 gene
The development of Alzheimer’s disease is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. One of the strongest genetic risk factors is the ε4 variant of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, which is associated with an increased risk of developing the disease and at a younger age.
In the Greek population, the frequency of the APOE4 (ε4) allele is estimated at 9%, according to a study by the founders of GENOSOPHY published in the scientific journal Redox Biology (PubMed).
