Effect of REST in the Alzheimer Disease Continuum

The investigators assume that REST gene polymorphism affects REST protein concentration, and REST protein concentration in peripheral blood is related to cognitive function and hippocampus. In this current study, REST protein content and gene polymorphism will be obtained in peripheral blood in AD and normal control. The effect of REST gene polymorphism on REST protein concentration will be discovered.The relationship between REST protein concentration and cognitive function will be found, as well as the relationship between REST protein concentration and hippocampus.
