Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The substantial symptomatic overlap between depression and dementia in old age may be explained by common genetic vulnerability factors. METHODS: We investigated this idea by comparing the occurrence of both disorders in first-degree relatives of 78 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD), of 74 with late-onset depression (onset age of > or = 60 years), of 78 with early-onset depression, of 53 with...
