Summary

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.

Eligibility

Age: 18 Years+Healthy volunteers accepted
Inclusion Criteria:

* Two living family members diagnosed with AD or other dementia with any age of onset
* Biological samples available

  * Fresh blood, or
