myelin basic protein基因 apolipoprotein β基因
presenilin基因 NOTCH 3基因

preSENILE-lin = senile alzeheimer

Myelin basic protein (MBP) is a protein believed to be important in the process of myelination of nerves in the central nervous system (CNS). MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS


apolipoprotein β基因: HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, AND MI

NOTCH 3 GENE:
