Have you ever been checked for familial early-onset Alzheimer's genes?
- criddell 4y agoIs that the kind of information a 23-and-me test will give you?
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoNot reliably. Best would be to seek consultation with a medical geneticist.
- lhh 4y ago23andme will tell you your APOE genotype, one of the variants of which is a major risk factor for Alzheimer's.

My exit plan doesn't involve long term health care insurance, that's for sure. Mom's still alive at 75, so that's a long run with this disease. I would say it's been about three years since she has declined to that stage where no mentally well person would want to be alive.
