Heritability for Alzheimer's Disease: The Study of Dementia in Swedish Twins

1 Mar 1997

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease has been thought to have familial and sporadic forms, and several genetic defects have been identified that chiefly explain early-onset familial cases. In this study, our purpose was to detect all cases of dementia in an established twin registry and to estimate total extent of genetic contribution to liability to Alzheimer's disease. METHODS: At the first stage, members of the...
