Alzheimer disease 8

Alzheimer disease 8 is a form of Alzheimer’s disease that is linked to genetic changes. It is defined by a variation in the region 20p12.2-q11.21 of the genome. This subtype is also known by several other names including AD8, Alzheimer disease type 8, and Alzheimer disease, familial 8. This condition is considered a familial form of Alzheimer’s disease, which means it may run in families. The genetic variation associated with Alzheimer disease 8 points to a specific change in the DNA that might affect brain function. However, the details on how these changes lead to the disease are still being explored.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Alzheimer disease 8 is associated with a genetic variation in a specific area of the genome, particularly in the region 20p12.2-q11.21. The gene known as AD8 is implicated in this condition. These genetic changes are believed to contribute to the development of the disease, and because the condition is familial, inherited factors may play a role. More research is needed to fully understand all the factors involved.
