Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Study

RecruitingN/A

Sponsor: Indiana University

Conditions: Alzheimer Disease, Late Onset Alzheimer Disease, Dementia

Countries: United States

The purpose of the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Study is to identify the genes that are responsible for causing Alzheimer's Disease (AD). One of the ways in which the risk factor genes for late onset AD can be investigated is by identifying and collecting genetic material from families with multiple members diagnosed with AD or dementia.
