Early Onset Alzheimer's

This is a rare form of Alzheimer’s diagnosed among people under age 65. These patients represent less than 10% of all Alzheimer's disease patients. Because these individuals experience premature aging, individuals who are born with Down syndrome are particularly at risk for this

type of Alzheimer’s. Adults with Down syndrome are often in their mid - to late 40s or early 50s when symptoms of Alzheimer’s first appear.
