Research has found that the genetic basis for early onset of Alzheimer's disease that occurs during the middle years (30 to 60) is:
a. no different than the genetic basis for late onset Alzheimer's disease
b. linked to different genes and chromosomes than those associated with late onset
c. weak, and the disease is more likely due to environmental causes
d. easier to document than that of late onset Alzheimer's disease
B
The genetic basis of early onset Alzheimer's is linked to different genes and chromosomes than those associated with late onset Alzheimer's. There is much greater evidence to the genetic link to early onset Alzheimer's than late onset Alzheimer's. Furthermore, it is also more likely to follow a single gene inheritance pattern.
