I’ve written about the presenilin genes before and here’s an excerpt from the Genetics Home Reference: Approximately 11 mutations in the PSEN2 gene have been shown to cause type 4 Alzheimer disease. Mutations in this gene account for less than 5 percent of cases of early-onset familial Alzheimer disease. Two of the most common PSEN2 mutations that cause type 4 Alzheimer disease change one of the building blocks (amino acids) used to make presenilin 2. …These mutations appear to affect the processing of amyloid precursor protein, leading to the increased formation of a protein fragment called amyloid beta peptide. This peptide can form clumps in the brain (amyloid plaques) that are characteristic of Alzheimer disease.

But the good news is that we can build new cells IF we keep our brain stimulated. I received a gift from my daughter to join the online brain gym Agogus.com and I personally love it. It offers fun games, new things to learn everyday, daily challenges. We should all workout our brain a few minutes per day. We all start losing memory starting in our 30s.
