Alzheimer disease 17

Alzheimer disease 17 is a type of Alzheimer’s disease that has been linked with mutations in the TREM2 gene. This condition is considered part of the broader spectrum of Alzheimer’s diseases, and it is sometimes described as a form of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. People with this condition may experience a progressive decline in memory and other cognitive abilities as is seen in more common forms of Alzheimer’s disease. While much about Alzheimer disease 17 is still being understood, its identification through specific genetic markers helps in distinguishing it from other types of Alzheimer’s disease. The link between the TREM2 mutation and Alzheimer disease 17 highlights the importance of genetic factors in this form of the condition. More research is needed to further clarify how these genetic changes contribute to the development of the disease and its progression.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Alzheimer disease 17 appears to be caused in part by mutations in the TREM2 gene. This genetic change is associated with the development of this form of Alzheimer’s disease. While the presence of a TREM2 mutation has been linked to Alzheimer disease 17, more research is needed to fully understand the genetic and environmental factors that may also play a role.
