The APOE4 gene, dubbed the "Alzheimer's gene," has long been a subject of scientific investigation. You've probably heard of it recently when actor Chris Hemsworth revealed he has two copies of the gene, giving him a 'strong indication' of a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease.

The bright side of that headline is that not everyone with one or two APOE4 genes gets Alzheimer's disease. And many people who don't have these genes get the disease.
