Is Alzheimer's hereditary or environmental?

Question About: Cause of Alzheimer's


Last updated: 24-Aug-2009

I'm adopted, so I don't know if that has any influence on Alzheimer's ... but here goes: My birth grandmother has Alzheimer's, and in my adoptive family several members have Alzheimer's. How much propensity for Alzheimer's is genetically based and how much is environmental?
