reports that the first findings have revealed “a higher-than-normal presence of genetic variants that may offer protective benefits against cognitive decline.” The researchers “sequenced the whole genomes of just over 500 of these participants and compared their DNA to genetic data of another group of almost 700 individuals representing the general population.” Also covering the study are TIME (4/21, Park) and HealthDay (4/21, Preidt). http://www.cbsnews.com/news/scientists-search-for-the-genes-behind-healthy-aging/
