Article Abstract:

The author discusses two genes whose mutations are involved in the onset of Alzheimer's disease, presenilin 1 and 2. Research has shown these genes involved in the development of various proteins, and this insight to their function provides an avenue of research which looks promising.

Article Abstract:

Not all APC gene mutations result in loss of protein function. APC is the gene linked to familial adenomatous polyposis, a suspected precursor of colorectal cancer.
