An Examination of the Association Between the TAS2R38 Bitter Taste Receptor Mutations and the Development of Late Onset Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia
​
Impact
We hope that our research will make the diagnosis of Schizophrenia and Alzheimer's easier. By identifying those at a higher risk for these diseases, we can provide them with health counseling services and preventative measures that will hopefully reduce the impact of these illnesses in their lives, should they end up developing one.
