Family tree maps early Alzheimer's across nine generations
Boston researchers tracing a rare early familial Alzheimer's strain build a nine generation family tree from an ancestor who died in 1790 in Calabria Italy. The chart links 35 affected relatives in the U S and Europe, with onset in the mid thirties and death by late forties, offering a model to study late onset cases and urging urgency as aging grows.
