Summary

This study is looking for families who have one or more individuals with early-onset Alzheimer’s. The study is interested in the genetic factors across family members. This may help to develop methods for predicting or diagnosing early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Description

Study schedule:
At the start of the study:
-You will have a screening telephone call.
-You will have in-person cognitive and neurological assessments.
-You will give a blood sample.

During the study:
-You will have a follow-up telephone interview every 18 months.
-You will repeat some or all of the study-start activities.

Study activities may include:
-Talking on the telephone.
-Having cognitive and neurological assessments, which may be in the form of interview-style conversations, paper-and-pencil questionnaires, computer tests, and/or other activities.
-Having a sample of blood drawn from your vein using a needle.

Treatment or experiment details:
-This study is interested in the genetic factors that influence early-onset Alzheimer’s.
-There is no experiment or treatment being tested in this study.

Additional details:
-Nuclear families (parent, child, siblings) as well as extended families (grandparental, cousins, uncle/aunt, etc.) may be eligible.
-Multiple family members must participate in the study together.

A family with three or more individuals affected by early-onset Alzheimer’s, and one or more cognitively normal individual over age 60
A family with one or two related individuals with early-onset Alzheimer’s
A family with an individual with early-onset Alzheimer’s and an individual with late-onset Alzheimer’s
A family with an individual with early-onset Alzheimer’s and an individual with mild cognitive impairment

Exclusion Criteria

Your family does not have at least one individual with early-onset Alzheimer’s
Your family members have a non-Alzheimer’s cognitive diagnosis, such as frontotemporal dementia, traumatic brain injury, or vascular brain injury
