Can anyone please answer this question on Alzheimer's Disease?

I need a picture of the chromosome carrying gene for Alzheimer's Disease, with the location of the gene for the disorder marked, and the name of the gene, and the name of protein coded for by the gene. Ive been trying for two weeks to get this information, but i cant find it anywhere! Can anyone please give me this information??

THANK YOU! :)

this is what my teacher told us:

FIND A PICTURE OF CHROMOSOME CARRYING GENE FOR DISORDER
- Chromosome accurately drawn
- Loacation of gene for disorder clearly marked

INFORMATION ABOUT DISORDER INCLUDES
- Exact name of gene
- Name of protein coded for by gene (if available)
- Symptoms of disorder
- Complications associated with Alzheimer's
- Inheritance: type of mutation (is it sex-linked, autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, etc.)
- Detection of carriers
- Treatment (care, cure, prevention, if any)

There are some cases of Alzheimer's disease that are familial, but to the best of my knowledge, the location on the chromosome has not been determined.

Lab rat is correct. There is NO Alzheimer's gene.

Alzheimer's Disease is a "poly-genic" and "environmental" disease - which means potentially hundreds of genes interacting with many environmental factors leads to the disease.

Best wishes.

Sorry it's me again! I think you can't find the information because it doesn't exist! There is no gene 'for' Alzheimer's.
