Sick+Genes+Activity-Alzheimer's+Disease

=Familial Alzheimer's Disease = Genetic Alzheimer's is caused by mutations in three genes on three different chromosomes. A mutation in the amyloid precurser protein gene (APP gene) leads to an irregular form of the protein causing Alzheimer's disease. The other two mutations in family genes that cause Alzheimer's are in the presenilin 1 protein gene and presenilin 2 protein gene. Any of those three mutations causes the genetic Alzheimer's disease.Thee mutation only has to be present in one of the two copies of that inherited gene in order for Alzheimer's to take effect. There are two main treatments to Alzheimer's disease and both work in the brain. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are one treatment and it tries to increase the level of acetylcholine in the brain, which is a chemical that is important for learning and memory. Another treatment is Glutamate pathway modifiers which try to increase the amount of glutamate in the brain. Glutamate in the brain. Glutamate is also another chemical that is important for memory and learning.
