It is associated with many different things, including cardiovascular disease, but it's most well known
For increasing risk for Alzheimer dementia.
It's also associated with earlier onset.
And what is a little bit less known is that in traumatic brain injury, in particular in more severe traumatic brain injury, the E4 allele is or the E4 gene is associated with
worse outcomes and particular in the area of cognitive function such as memory.
What we found is that when we look at the players who do a lot of heading and those who do very little heading, and we stratify them based on the presence of this gene.
We find that if you don't do very much heading, even if you do have the gene, it doesn't seem to affect your risk.
But if you look at the people who do a lot of heading, the risk is significantly elevated.
It's by a something like a factor of four if you do have this gene.
So it's not necessarily just having a lot of exposure to headers over time.
But if you have this particular gene.
It's very possible that that may increase your risk that that heading will have an adverse effect.
And on the other hand, if you don't have it.
It may not be as detrimental.
But you still might get a bit of verbal memory loss, it's just the the the risk is higher if you have the gene.
The risk is substantially higher if you have the gene.
Yeah, or even in other settings such as combat.
I would frame it as using genetic profiling to assess an individual's risk.
And even without the genes we can talk about controlling the amount of heading to
What we find is that using specific types of MRI.
