Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for families with two living members diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease or another type of dementia. If you participate, you will provide biological samples to help researchers identify genetic factors related to Alzheimer's.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have two living family members diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia
  • I have biological samples available

You may not be able to join if

  • I do not meet the inclusion criteria
  • I am a member of a family already included in a specific genetics collection

Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria. The full criteria are further down this page — only the research team can confirm whether you qualify.

Think this trial could be right for you?

Answer three quick questions written from this study's own rules to see if you may qualify. No account needed to find out.

About This Trial

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.
