Together with colleagues from ELHOC Chile Consortium we found the rs12654778 SNP, near the ADRB2 gene, to be associated with lower LDL levels in a cohort of Chilean adults. Find the link to the study below! BrainLat UAI Carlos Celis-Morales

Social epigenetics is crucial for Latin America, where unique environmental/social exposomes shape aging & dementia risk. There is an urgent need for more evidence. Congrats Ariel Caviedes Carolina Ochoa + team, for advancing this essential call 👉doi.org/10.1002/alz.14… ISTAART
