What can be done to stem the tide of this devastating disease? Researchers are looking to our genes. &#8220;One of the goals of genetics is to try and come up with as strong a set of predictors as is possible. This has influenced the way in which more recent genetic research has been done,&#8221; says Douglas R. Galasko, MD.  On this episode of &#8220;On Our Mind,&#8221; Dr. Galasko shares the different types of genetic influences on people&#8217;s risk of developing Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. He explains how these genes are being studied and what being a carrier of Alzheimer&#8217;s associated genes means. <\/p>\n<p>For more information on Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, visit our archive.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uctv.tv\/brain\/alzheimers\/\">https:\/\/www.uctv.tv\/brain\/alzheimers\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uctv.tv\/brain\/search-details.aspx?showID=33725\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch What Role Do Genetics Play in Alzheimer\u2019s? &#8211; On Our Mind<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every 65 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer&#8217;s disease.
