Abstract excerpt

What social repercussions do older adults expect to experience if they learn they are at heightened genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD)? We compared these individuals' hypothetical expectations to the actual experiences of AD stigma reported by those who knew their apolipoprotein E (APOE) ϵ4 genotype, a key genetic risk factor for AD dementia. As part of a multisession study, participants aged 60-85...
