In "FASTKD2 is associated with memory and hippocampal structure in older adults" researchers in GWAS study they call the largest study of human memory to date (end of 2014) found allele G of rs7594645 associated with better memory performance in older adults, together with increased hippocampal volume and gray matter density and decreased cerebrospinal fluid levels of apoptotic mediators. rs7594645 resides in FASTKD2, a gene involved in programmed cell death, suggesting a likely cause of effect.
