Re: PSEN1 Carrier
I hope its okay that I join your site. I carry an early onset gene, which is only roughly 1% of the Alz population. PSEN1 is one of the three inherited genes that causes early onset Familial Alzheimer's disease. It is 99.7% penetrant which means, I'm suppose to get it. But, alas, I am testing out b...
