The presence of two proteins in the brain allow researchers to predict who might get Alzheimer's disease in advance.
A new study shows that Alzheimer’s disease can be diagnosed earlier, before there are any symptoms noticed. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden found out that it is possible to predict who could deteriorate within the upcoming years.There are two proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, which are beta-amyloid and tau. The protein beta-amyloid forms plaque in the brain and tau builds up inside the brain cells.
The people who showed the presence of the two proteins were found to be at a much higher risk of developing compared to the people without the proteins and with no changes in their brain. The participants who had tau and beta-amyloid proteins present were 20 to 40 times more likely to be at risk for the disease.“When both beta-amyloid and tau are present in the brain, it can no longer be considered a risk factor, but rather a diagnosis,” said Rik Ossenkoppele, the first author of the study and a senior researcher at Lund University and Amsterdam University Medical Center.
