Dr Clíona Farrell - Genetically determined Alzheimer’s; recap from ADAD-DSAD

Dr Clíona Farrell, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

Genetically determined Alzheimer’s disease, though rare, offers key insights into dementia research. In this blog, Dr Clíona Farrell recaps highlights from the ADAD-DSAD conference in Barcelona. Covering autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease and Down syndrome-related Alzheimer’s, she explores genetics, APOE’s role in symptom onset, clinical trial progress for anti-amyloid therapies in people with Down syndrome, and the vital importance of lived experience and PPIE in shaping research.
