CRUZ DIAZ, Gabriel  and  GARCIA PLATA, Diana Citlali. New genes discovered related to Alzheimer's Disease. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.2, pp.34-36. ISSN 1817-7433.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative problem which cause is not well defined, however, there are different relationships between genetic changes and the presence of symptoms and signs of the disease. Among them, there are some well known such as the APP gene, PSEN 1 and PSEN2. With new scientific advances now we know new genes associated with the disease such as the CHAT, APOE, 5-HTTLPR, SORLI, NINJ2, CST3, EXOC3L2, CLU, NGFR, TREM2, APOCI, ACE, SLC2A14 genes, among others. The knowledge about these genes and the disease could help to find the cure.

Keywords : Alzheimer; Genes; Chat; APOE; TREM2.
