gust 18, 2023 | Print In a quest to determine how a gene associated with increased Alzheimer's risk is surviving natural selection, a group of researchers from multiple universities including USC have discovered that the APOE-?4 allele is associated with increased fertility in women.

And yet, despite its negative effects, this allele remains prevalent in approximately 20% of the human population.
