How sad is this

Chris Hemsworth to take time off from acting after discovering Alzheimer's predisposition

He needs to speak to a genetic counselor - he has no symptoms, APO E is an indicator of age-related Dementia, not early onset. However he does have a family history of Alzheimer’s which is a much better guide than a simple APO E gene test. From what I read there was no examination of any protective factors, as with most of medicine you need to look at the whole person…

And you need to make sure you have the whole story. Originally the APOe4 gene was thought to be protective against Alz Dis however it turns out that it is a marker for heart disease and folks were not getting Alzheimers because they died from a heart attack before they got it.

End of lecture :rolleyes:
