A member asked:
Can there be such a thing as premature alzheimer's disease when a female is in her mid 20's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: It may happen in a family where several members developed alzheimer's disease in an early age. That is because there is a bad gene transmitted in that family.
