Whats my odds of haveing Alzheimer's? |
My grandmother had Alzheimer's, and then my mother appears to have signs of Alzheimer's, whats the probability I'll have it, I'm really worried. Come to think of it i belive my great grandmother had mental issues before she died. They can test for this definitively by doing DNA analysis. There are 3 primary genes responsible, passed down from one generation to the next. These genes are present in early-onset (before 65) cases, but not likely to be present in late onset (after age 65) cases. So, if your great grandmother and grandmother were diagnosed in their 80's like most people, there isn't a high familial risk. On the other hand, if they came down with symptoms in their 50's and 60's, it is likely they have the gene. The risk then becomes 50% for each of their children. If your mother has it, then your risk is 50%. The ingredient, aluminum, has been found in high concentrations in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Deodorants, aluminum cookware & aluminum foil all contribute to the levels of aluminum in people's brains. probably quite high- sorry Here it is- I asked my doctor that same question. He said that if one parent or one side of the family had it, there is not much risk. If both parents had it then high risk. |
