This Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we’re sharing a powerful video from our partners at Genome Medical that answers a question many in our community are asking: Is Alzheimer’s genetic?
For most, Alzheimer’s is caused by a mix of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. But in some families, it can be inherited through a single gene change, leading to earlier onset and a stronger family pattern.
Understanding your family’s risk can be empowering. That’s why connecting with a genetic counselor can be such an important step, they can help you make sense of your history and explore whether genetic testing might offer more answers.
Watch the video to learn more, and if you’re looking for support, Genome Medical’s genetic counselors are here to help:
