An insight into Alzheimer’s disease and its on-setting novel genes

Abstract According to the World Health Organisation, as of 2019, globally around 50 million people suffer from dementia, with approximately another 10 million getting added to the list every year, wherein Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stands responsible for almost a whopping 60–70% for the existing numbe...
