Understanding and characterizing early stages of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
Clinical Core
This study is looking for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's and similar memory issues, including those who may not yet show symptoms, to help gather important information and samples that can improve understanding and support for everyone affected by these conditions.

What this research studies
This research focuses on identifying and clinically characterizing patients who are in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. It aims to include individuals who are asymptomatic, early symptomatic, or affected by hereditary forms of AD, as well as those with genetically distinct non-AD dementias. Participants will contribute to the collection of various biological samples and neuroimaging data, which will be used for further research and collaboration with other studies. The project also emphasizes education and support for affected individuals and their families.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with early symptomatic or preclinical Alzheimer's disease, as well as those from families with hereditary Alzheimer's or related dementias.
Not a fit: Patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease or those without any familial or genetic predisposition to dementia may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better understanding and earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, potentially improving treatment options for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in characterizing early stages of Alzheimer's disease, indicating that this approach is supported by existing findings.
