Summary

The goal of this study is to is to focus on the genetic influences on Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk.

Eligibility

Min Age: 55 Years

  • a third living relative affected with AD (onset age 50 or older) or unaffected (60 or older);
  • participants in the proband's generation with an identified companion serving as an informant;
  • participants who have capacity to consent or participants lacking capacity to consent with a surrogate/proxy in place to provide consent.

  • uncertainty of the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or other related disorder;
  • discovery of additional diagnosis that could account for the clinical manifestations;
  • unwillingness to participate;
