Dementia means loss of memory and ability to reason or think clearly. Alzheimer's dementia is the most common dementia in North America and Europe. In the US it affects approximately 4 million people. Most people feel uneasy and scared when they think about Alzheimer’s dementia. This is especially true when there is a family member or someone close who has developed the illness.  Memory problems appearing in middle age can cause significant anxiety. This is a difficult time for the person and their family: something is wrong, however, the doctors do not have a name for it yet. At this time, your most important priority is to get a diagnosis: the earlier you understand the problem, the easier is to organize a care plan. As in many diseases, genes play an important role in Alzheimer's dementia. For example, APOE4 gene is present in about 90% of patients with Alzheimer's. Therefore, genetic information can help to understand the actual cause of your problem.
