Alzheimer’s Disease and Role of Apolipoprotein E in Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is progressive, irreversible, neurodegenerative memory disorder linked with somehow aging and comes under the umbrella of dementia. It may be rare Familial AD or randomly occurring Sporadic AD. Some preventable acquired risk factors and non-preventable e.g., age and genetics are the main risk factors for Alzheimer’s. The most essential genetic risks factor for (LOAD) late onset of Alzheimer’s disease is APOE genes present on chromosome 19, has three major alleles (e2, e3, and e4). We can slow Alzheimer’s but cannot prevent or stop it till now. Some non-drug treatments, like physical activity, social engagement, nutritious supplemented food, and FDA approved drugs i.e., Donepezil, Galantamine, cholinesterase inhibitors, Mementine, Antidepressants, Antipsychotics and mood stabilizing medication helps to reduce AD.
