Aging and Alzheimer’s disease• The biggest challenge in AD: it is superimposed on
normal aging• Insidious onset• No blood test; diagnosis is putting a puzzle together

Symptoms late in the disease: cells are damagedWe cannot recover nerve cells; goal is to prevent
We need biomarkers before the symptoms start
PET metabolism and amyloid imaging

Alzheimer disease as a model of complex genetics
Not two patients are exactly alike

Amyloid hypothesis

Linkage
Trisomy 21
Partial trisomy 21 not including APP-no AD

Candidate gene: APP
• Precursor protein to amyloid in AD brain
• Mutations found
• Disease and mutation went together within families
• Interestingly some of these mutations affect sites where gamma cleavage occurs

Genetics proves it is heterogeneous

Alzheimer’s disease model: induced pluripotent stem cells
![Page 17: Aging, Memory and Alzheimer’s Disease Kinga Szigeti, MD, PhD.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649d9f5503460f94a8aa21/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The goal: prevention
• Age 65 well visit/ part of the prevention panel• Primary care physician asks about memory issues• Screening memory test• Blood test for genetic risk factors (gene chip)• Assess family history of dementia
Then risk stratification:Low risk Monitor
Intermediate risk Consider amyloid imaging then Rx
High Risk Amyloid imaging then Rx

The goal: personalized treatment
• If memory problem is present:
• Clinical workup
• Gene chip to determine which drugs work best

Until we have the breakthrough: ADMDC patient care
• Diagnose early
• Modify risk factors to slow progression
• Treat to change slope of decline
• Buys us time
• Gives years of close to normal life
