Recently, researchers have discovered the first type of gene mutation that helps fight Alzheimer's disease  People who carry this type of gene mutation have a greatly reduced risk of developing dementia symptoms after entering old age  Researchers conducted health surveys and gene sequencing on 1795 study subjects  Later, it was discovered that the gene that affects Alzheimer's disease, the amyloid precursor protein gene, has different types of mutations, and some people who carry one of these types of mutations are relatively less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease  The researchers explained that Alzheimer's disease The cause of the disease is the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain  This is caused by beta-amyloid precursor protein lyase 1 cutting large pieces of protein into small pieces
Restrict the function of beta-amyloid precursor protein lyase 1, which can inhibit beta-amyloid protein accumulation
 This mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene Type can limit the function of beta amyloid precursor protein lyase 1, thereby reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease
