A Family With Histologically Confirmed Alzheimer's Disease

Severity of Symptoms and Rate of Progression in Alzheimer's Disease: A Comparison of Cases with Early and Late Onset

“…Among these variables, it has been shown that institutionalized Alzheimer patients compared to community-residing Alzheimer cases deteri orate more rapidly [20], In accordance with other investi gators, we could not find an association between severity of symptoms or symptom progression and familial aggre gation in Alzheimer's disease [7,21,22].…”

“…A relation between symptom progression in Alzhei mer's disease and age of onset was reported by some investigators [2,4,16], Albert [2] found that Alzheimer cases with an early onset compared to late-onset cases 22 Haupt/Kurz/Pollmann Symptom Severity and Progression in Alzheimer's Disease Numbers in brackets = maximum score. 1 None of the values were statistically significant (a = 0.05).…”

The Role of Head Injury, Surgical Anaesthesia and Family History as Aetiological Factors in Dementia of Alzheimer Type

“…This is also supported by two studies which have documented two large families with histologically proved DAT [12,13].…”

Familial alzheimer's disease in american descendants of the volga germans: Probable genetic founder effect

“…Several hundred of their offspring are living and at risk for dementia (younger generations are not shown in the pedigrees to conserve space). Assuming these families carry the same mutation, this combined kindred is of comparable size to the largest known AD families such as those reported by Foncin and associates [8] and Nee and associates [9]. There is no known relationship between the present families and the two Byelorussian Jewish families with AD reported by Goudsmit and associates [lo].…”
