Alzheimer's disease (AD), also known as simply Alzheimer's, is a neurodegenerative illness that manifests as cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions. It is identified in its traditional form by a gradual decrease of memory and other cognitive capabilities, as nerve cells perish and distinct areas of the brain atrophy.The disease typically has an estimate average of ten to twelve years, even though this may fluctuate.
The indicators that determine the illness were determined by Emil Kraepelin in 1906, simultaneously that its characteristic neuropathology was initially noticed by Alois Alzheimer. Thus, the breakthrough of the condition was the job of two psychiatrists who performed in the same laboratory. Nevertheless, Kraepelin felt that the neuropathological foundation of the psychiatric condition needed naming the illness in honor of his friend.

Does alzheimer's skip a generation?
One cannot look at Alzheimers as a familial dominant disease because only 0.1% of Alzheimers cases are inherited. But if you were to look at it that way, its not possible to skip generations because autosomal dominance doesn't work that way. For example if a grand parent has Alzheimers and the son or daughter does not suffer, then the grand sons and grand daughters cannot suffer from the disease their grand father suffered from, i.e., they do not inherit Alzheimers. But as 99% of Alzheimers are sporadic they still may suffer from Alzheimers which has nothing to do with their Grand Daddy.
