Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major global health issue, and this study investigates the role of mitochondrial DNA in relation to its onset, specifically within the Tunisian population.
- Researchers analyzed 159 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from mitochondrial DNA in 254 individuals, alongside assessing the presence of the APOE ε4 gene, known to increase AD risk.
- The study found no significant link between mitochondrial haplogroups and AD, but discovered two specific SNPs that were associated with the disease, while confirming APOE ε4 as a significant risk factor.
