FIVE NEW GENES LINKED
ALZHEIMER´S
INTRODUCTION
Genes gateway understanding
Alzheimer’s
are a to
Researchers have grown the list of
known genes associated with the most
common form of the condition, which
affects memory and brain function the
elderly
How do these
discoveries
help patients?
Introduction
THE FINDING
There were five accepted late-onset genes
Now there are five
more
MS4A,
ABCA7,
CD33,
EPHA1 and
CD2AP
EVIDENCES
People with high
cholesterol are more
likely to get the
disease.
Evidences of five new genes linked Alzheimer’s
The discoveries double the
number of known genes to be
involved in Alzheimer's, to 10
from 5
Evidences of five new genes linked Alzheimer’s
In contrast, each of the new genes increases risk by no more than 10 to 15 percent.

CAUSES OF ALZHEIMER´S DISEASE
CAUSES
GENETIC FACTOR

gene of amiloide's
precursive protein
FAMILY HISTORY
A variant of the

genetically
VASCULAR DISEASE
The lifestyle factors and

AGE

How do these discoveries help
patients?
With the discovery of these new
genes
which further confirms that
accelerated biological pathways
suspected Alzheimer's disease.
-Inflammation
-Cholesterol
-Cell transport
systems
The findings uncover brand new targets for
potential treatments for the disease,
whether they may be drugs, behavioral
changes or other therapies.
