Abstract
The cumulative risk of Alzheimer-like dementia (AD) was investigated in first-degree relatives (n = 176) of 35 probands with autopsy-confirmed clinical diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease. Seventeen of the 176 first-degree relatives showed evidence of AD. Cumulative morbid risk for the first-degree relatives was estimated to be 28.8%. This result is broadly consistent with previously reported studies, and affirms the presence of substantial disease risk in close relatives of those with Alzheimer's disease.
