New #CurtinResearch has found men who carry a common #gene variant are twice as likely to develop #dementia.

Researchers discovered men – but not women - who carried variants in the haemochromatosis (HFE) gene, critical for regulating iron levels, are at increased risk of dementia. Co-author Professor John Olynyk from the Curtin Medical School said one in 36 people carry two copies of the variant known as H63D, which heightens the dementia risk in men, but more research is needed to investigate why.
