To resolve conflicting findings on the association of complement allotypes with Alzheimer's disease (AD) we have studied the C4 phenotypes in 33 sporadic cases and in one family with familial AD. We found no association with complement alleles in familial or sporadic AD, even though a familial case

## Abstract ## Background Familial factors are clearly associated with an increased risk of developing late onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). However, there is emerging evidence to suggest that familial factors may also influence clinical phenotype. To date, most studies have focussed on familial
The strongest risk factor for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is having a relative with the disease. Familial IBD may be one homogeneous subgroup, phenotypically different from sporadic IBD. Several observations support a role for familiarity in disease site and behavior, particularly in
