Welcome...

... to the educational and user friendly website that will help you and many knowledge seekers understand the world of Alzheimer's disease that has been tearing up families, relationships, and most importantly, the victim's memories. This web page will explain the genetic connection to the Alzheimer's disease and how the Human Genome Project is currently helping researchers to find a cure.

Brief introduction to Alzheimer's Disease:

     Alzheimer's disease, as most of us know, deteriorates the brain that affects normal daily functioning. Currently, we do not know the exact cause of this disease, but we are slowly researching the possible factors that may potentially 'activate' the disease. Through rigorous research, industries, universities, and drug producers are able to learn more about the disease thanks to information provided by the Human Genome Project.

Take a look at the image above. It compares the normal brain (left) appearance to the Alzheimer's brain appearance (right). As you can see, the right brain, afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, is deteriorated and 'empty' compared to the healthy, normal brain.
