Alzheimer’s disease can be transmitted to humans via growth hormone through a pathogenic form of the amyloid protein. The results of the research were published in the journal Nature Medicine.

According to the research, Alzheimer’s disease, which is associated with prion infection, was contracted after medical intervention long before the first symptoms appeared. Patients with neurodegenerative diseases were given growth hormone isolated from the human pituitary gland. This method was used until 1985. At least 1,848 people in the UK were given growth hormone, but this treatment was later stopped due to the abnormally folded proteins that cause Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

As a result, these patients developed cerebral amyloid angiopathy as well as beta-amyloid deposits. These compounds are present in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
