Alzheimer`s Disease and its Effects on the Central Nervous System
... For late onset Alzheimer’s disease, there is only one known genetic component, a protein, produced by the gene apolipoprotein E (ApoE) on chromosome 19, which binds quickly and tightly with beta-amyloid. ApoE comes in three alleles, one of which increases the risk of AD. It is still unknown how beta ...

Clinical neurochemistry
Clinical neurochemistry is the field of neurological biochemistry which relates biochemical phenomena to clinical symptomatic manifestations in humans. While neurochemistry is mostly associated with the effects of neurotransmitters and similarly-functioning chemicals on neurons themselves, clinical neurochemistry relates these phenomena to system-wide symptoms. Clinical neurochemistry is related to neurogenesis, neuromodulation, neuroplasticity, neuroendocrinology, and neuroimmunology in the context of associating neurological findings at both lower and higher level organismal functions.
