A team of researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology helped provide genetic context to Alabamians with early-onset dementia, giving them a more complete picture of their affliction and how it might affect their family. In the process, the researchers also learned new information about genetic risk factors that may contribute to the disease. They recently published their findings in Molecular Case Studies.

Thanks to support from the Daniel Foundation of Alabama, patients from the UAB Memory Disorders Clinic received genetic sequencing. A HudsonAlpha genetic counselor then walked them through the results, helping them understand what their genome can tell us about the disease affecting them.
