British scientists have been lauded by TIME magazine for their discovery of genes related to Alzheimer's.

"Prof Williams and colleagues from Cardiff University and over 20 other institutions uncovered two new genes, named CLU and PICALM, related to Alzheimer’s: the first such breakthrough in over 15 years. When they shared their findings with French researchers, a third gene was revealed. It was the largest ever genetic study for Alzheimer’s, involving over 16,000 individuals."

"TIME magazine explained the research, which was part-funded by the MRC, Wellcome Trust, Alzheimer’s Research Trust and others, by stating:"

“When it comes to understanding a disease as complex as Alzheimer's, the more the better — genes, that is. In September, 15 years since the last discovery of its kind, scientists finally identified a new set of genes that may contribute to the memory-robbing disorder."
