Usually affects the elderly Alzheimer's and late-old, but you can help to develop a way to detect it in early? This is what will answer him this study.
Researchers have found that certain genes increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, and most of these genes have side effects on a person appear in childhood to be an indication of infection later.
Factor gene is a risk factor among other combination of factors that lead to Alzheimer's disease such as age and family history, and work to identify these genes will help a lot of people who fall into the category of the risk of infection.
The study revealed that a gene called "APOE ε4" can be found in people in the vulnerable category such as Alzheimer's disease and their arrival to the age of twenty, note that the symptoms of the disease does not appear before the age of 60 solutions at least.
The gene is located on chromosome 19, and plays a significant and key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease, which carries all the people of the two copies of this gene, one being inherited from the father and one from the mother.
The researchers found after a study indicated that ε4 gene was present in approximately 10-15% of the participants, it was mental development have different compared to other, as the results of the examination of memory and thinking skills have declined, indicating the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in the future. In this regard, it commented lead researcher Linda Zhang (Linda Chang), saying: "the study of genes in children may give us an indication of those who fall between them in the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease category in the future, and may also help us to develop methods of prevention of the disease."
The researchers were able to arrive at these results after the targeted 1187 children's ages ranged from 3-20 years old, who underwent brain examination and to examine another Jenny addition to the tests specific to memory and thinking skills.
Previous studies have shown that people who carry ε4 gene are more likely to develop the disease compared with others, it is expected to raise this gene the risk of developing the disease by about 20-25%.
The researchers hope that these results are promising for the development of screening mechanisms to help predict the risk of Alzheimer's disease at an early age, in order to conduct interventions limit the severity of the illness they have.
