A Study to Compare Genetic Variations of IGF-I and IGF-II
This study looks at whether small differences in the genes for insulin-like growth factors, called IGF-I and IGF-II, are linked to dementia, especially Alzheimer's. Researchers will compare genetic test results from people with dementia, their younger relatives, and age-matched people without dementia. No drug or treatment is being given. Phase was not specified. Details are limited so far.
You may qualify if
- Men and women between the ages of 50 and 81 years old who have a diagnosis of dementia
- Men and women who are at least 18 years old and are biologically related to the study subject with dementia
- Control subjects must not have a diagnosis of dementia and must be matched in age to the study subjects with dementia
You're excluded if
- Biological family members of the dementia patient who are either younger than 17 years of age or older than the patient with dementia
- Biological family members with a diagnosis of dementia
- Age-matched control subjects with a diagnosis of dementia
