Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the link between a specific genetic variant of a neuronal protein and the likelihood and severity of concussions in college athletes.
- Researchers compared 48 athletes with concussion histories to 48 controls without such histories, analyzing the NEFH polymorphism.
- Results showed no significant differences in concussion frequency or recovery time related to this genetic variant, suggesting it may not affect concussion susceptibility or recovery in college athletes.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the link between specific apolipoprotein E (APOE) genetic variations and concussion history among college athletes.
- A significant correlation was found, indicating that athletes carrying rare APOE alleles were much more likely to have experienced previous concussions.
- The results suggest that those with certain APOE variants may be at increased risk for both single and multiple concussions, highlighting the need for further research in larger populations.
