Study finds gene linked with risk of delirium | News | The University of Edinburgh A major genetic risk factor for delirium has been identified in a landmark study that analysed the DNA of more than one million people worldwide.

Statistician and data scientist Dr Tim Cannings contributed to the largest genetic analysis of delirium – a medical condition characterised by sudden mental confusion.

APOE, a gene known for its role in Alzheimer’s disease, also increases risk of developing delirium: www.ed.ac.uk/news/study-f...
