What is Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a specific brain disorder that affects thinking, memory and language. It was named after the German doctor Alois Alzheimer who in 1966 noticed various changes in the brain of a female patient including abnormal clumps-now called amyloid plaques, and tangled bundles of fibers (neurofibrillary tangles). Even today the only certain diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is a post mortem autopsy showing these physical traits. Although formerly believed to be primarily caused by the aging process, it has been established that genetics plays a pivotal role in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

DNA Analysis / Genetic Biological / Relationship Testing

 

DNA relationship testing utilizes genetic analysis to conclusively determine biological relationships between test applicants. It is possible to perform DNA analysis through alternative family members (Grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc.) to determine paternity or maternity in cases of a missing/deceased parent, establish if two people are siblings and if they share one or both parents. Other biological relationships can also be determined through DNA analysis. Learn more.
