Does Alzheimer's come from genes in the mother's side of the family?

Answer 1

No, it can actually come from either side of the family and your chance of having Alzheimer's doubles if both sides of the family have the gene.

If you'd like a more detailed explanation of how the gene's work, please visit the web site for the Alzheimer's Association:
