Alzheimer's genetic potential?
My grandmother had Alzheimer's disease for some time and found myself thinking Maybee there is a possibility that can develop the disease. It is the only absolute in our family with the disease and is on the side of my mother's family (if the mitochondrial DNA play a role). I have also heard that women are more likely to contract the disease. Is there evidence that can possibly take to get an idea of what are the possibilities? Im only 15, I know I have to wait.
Unfortunately, Alzheimer's disease is hereditary. You're too young to start worrying for this, but in the future, I suggest you take the test for Alzheimer's disease are all today. You do not have Alzheimer's disease depends on many factors. Anyway here's a link to: http://www.choiceeldercare.org/articles/Alzheimer_s_At_Young_Age/
