The two diseases we decided to analyze are Alzheimer's and Anencephaly. Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia that affects the brain by gradually deteriorating an individual's brain function, leading to memory loss and impairing cognitive skills. The gene responsible for Alzheimer's is labeled PSEN1 and a mutation in this gene can cause toxic protein to build up in the brain leading to symptoms described above. The reference number for this gene is rs63751320. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=63751320] | |||
