Symptom onset, mortality linked for those with Down syndrome, autosomal dominant AD

Age variability in symptom onset of Alzheimer’s disease in those with Down syndrome was comparable to those who experienced autosomal dominant AD, while mortality was also similar, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open.
“Down syndrome is a complex condition with multiple associated comorbidities that vary throughout the lifespan. Improvements in health care ... have increased life expectancy from approximately 5 years in the 1950s to roughly 60 years in the 2020s,” Maria Florencia Iulita, PhD, of the Center for Biomedical Investigation Network for
