Hard for me to say how important any of these susceptibility genes are. Techbros will tell you they are destiny. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/02/250225121820.htm

Alzheimer’s disease is terrible to watch. My Great Aunt developed it. Before that she was a retired, and very well respected speech therapist who worked for Pitt. By the end she was raving at her therapists and nursing staff about how her long dead father would fire them all. But she still had some core memories. Like, she gave me her pottery collection before she was showing too many symptoms. By the time I finally had it organized and displayed, she had stopped recognizing me. My grandmother would introduce me when I visited and my aunt treated me like a stranger. She thought I was a big shot from the nursing home and she was impressed that my grandma knew such a well spoken gentleman. Still, I wanted to show her a picture of her pottery collection. She didn’t recognize me, but she burst into laughter and joy and she named the artists and other trivia about them. But, then again, she didn’t recognize it as her collection. Anyway, TLDR?

Isn’t it awful to see someone you love get destroyed from the inside out like that? I always wonder what it feels like for them, in part so I can be less scared of getting it myself. My grandma had ALZ and one of her worst traits during her decline was that she was an escape artist. Without oversharing, Her talent at making a run for it taught us valuable lessons about the inadequacy of many care facilities
