What determines why only some individuals with RHI exposure develop CTE pathology?

OPEN

While 97% of CTE cases have RHI exposure, not all individuals with similar exposure develop the disease, suggesting unknown susceptibility factors. Identifying these factors could enable risk stratification and personalized prevention strategies.
