Researchers have identified a man with a rare genetic mutation that protected him from developing dementia at an early age.The finding, published on 15 May in Nature Medicine, could help researchers to better understand the causes of Alzheimer's disease and potentially lead to new treatments.For nearly 40 years, neurologist Francisco Lopera at the University of Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia, has been following an extended family whose members develop Alzheimer's in their forties or earlier.
