AD/PD 2026: Genetic Risk of Alzheimer’s May Not Be Localised to the Brain

At the AD/PD Conference 2026 in Copenhagen, César Cunha, PhD Fellow at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research, presents novel findings on genetic risk factors in Alzheimer’s disease. In this MEDtalk, he outlines data suggesting that genetic susceptibility may not be confined to the brain but may involve peripheral tissues or systemic processes, challenging the traditional brain-centric view of disease pathogenesis.
