Family Studies Unit, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, MD 20892, neel{at}mail.nih.gov

Genetic counseling is a 2-way street between counselor and the counseled.

"Research Families" made research models a reality. Few family members requested presymptomatic testing.

Key Words: presenilin-1 Alzheimer's disease • presymptomatic testing • research families
