## Abstract The effect of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) Ο΅4 allele on age of onset was analyzed in two groups of families with earlyβonset Alzheimer's disease (AD), (1) Volga German (VG) kindreds, in which AD is caused by an unknown locus and (2) earlyβonset nonβVG families showing evidence of linkage
## Abstract ## Background When comparing with earlyβonset Alzheimer's disease (EOβAD) and lateβonset Alzheimer's disease (LOβAD), some symptomatological differences in clinical features can be seen between them. Rapid progression, more severe language problems or visuospatial dysfunction occur mor
Increasing attention has been paid to the prominence of myoclonus in Alzheimer's disease of early onset. This was particularly striking in many family members affected by autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease linked to chromosome 14, as recently reported by Haltia and colleagues { 11 and by Lampe a
The role of heredity in early- versus late-onset Parkinson's disease (PD) is controversial. We estimated the degree of increased risk of PD in first-degree relatives of 221 PD probands with age of onset 50 years or younger and 266 PD probands with age of onset older than 50 years compared with the f
