Genetic Counseling and Presenilin-1 Alzheimer's Disease: "Research Family" Members Share Some Thoughts

Linda E. Nee

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. In this article, both share experiences gained through more than 25 years of searching for the gene, finding the presenilin-1 Alzheimer's disease gene, and waiting for a cure. "Research Families" made research models a reality. Few family members requested presymptomatic testing.

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