315. Brain Health & DS: Alzheimer's Disease Prevalence and Treatment (w/Dr. Michael Rafii)
As we continue this season on brain health, its time to dive deep into the link between Alzheimer’s disease and Down syndrome. It’s not an easy topic.. and that’s why we are so grateful to have Dr. Michael Rafii with us. He’s a physician-scientist whose research focuses on developing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, including a genetic form that occurs in people with Down syndrome. Dr. Rafii is breaking down these topics today:
Alzheimer’s 101: How does it progress over time? How many people with and without DS are likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease?
The science: What gene is responsible for causing Alzheimer’s?
Current breakthroughs: More people with DS are involved in the research and Dr. Rafii is focused on developing research methods that work for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Take some notes, friends. This is an important one.
