Cure Alzheimer's Fund: Targeting Breakthrough Research

Cure Alzheimer’s funds the management and continued development of the revolutionary web-based database, AlzGene.org.
The AlzGene database is a revolutionary resource for Alzheimer’s researchers providing data and meta-analyses from hundreds of genetic association studies in an easy-to-use, searchable, web-based database. This site allows researchers to post their findings and comment on other findings. It aggregates huge amounts of information that will help in the search for the genetic makeup of Alzheimer’s. Currently, the database has more than 1,000 studies. The site also contains a continuously updated list displaying the genes most strongly associated with AD (on the website see "Top AlzGene Results").  Scientists interested in a particular gene can search for it in AlzGene to see what previous studies have reported, receiving a wealth of information in a very short amount of time.
