List at least 2 differences between familial Alzheimer’s disease and late onset of Alzheimer’s disease

Answer 1

Familial Alzheimer's disease  is a form of Alzheimer's disease that doctors know for certain is linked to genes. In families that are affected, members of at least two generations have had the disease. It makes up less than 1% of all cases of Alzheimer's. Most people who have early onset Alzheimer's have this type.

Late-onset Alzheimer's is the most common form of the disease, which happens to people age 65 and older. It may or may not run in families. So far, researchers haven’t found a particular gene that causes it. No one knows for sure why some people get it and others don’t.

Difference between late onset and familial Alzheimer's disease are:

* Late onset Alzheimer's disease are more common type. It usually occur in old age.

* Familial Alzheimer's disease are very rare. It usually occur in younger age. It is associated with genes.
