Alzheimer's disease is not a sex-linked condition; it is primarily influenced by genetic and environmental factors. While certain genetic mutations associated with early-onset Alzheimer's are located on chromosomes, they are not linked to sex chromosomes (X or Y). The most common form, late-onset Alzheimer's, involves multiple genes and is affected by age and lifestyle rather than being directly tied to sex-linked inheritance. Thus, Alzheimer's affects individuals regardless of their sex.

Is apert syndrome autosomal or sexlinked?
Apert syndrome is a autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene from either parent is necessary to inherit the condition. It is not sex-linked.
Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
What are some somatic gene disorders?
Some examples of somatic gene disorders include cancer (mutations in somatic cells leading to uncontrolled cell growth), cardiovascular diseases (genetic alterations affecting heart function), and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, caused by mutations in somatic cells).
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive trait, meaning that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the gene for color blindness (one from each parent) in order to be color blind. If an individual inherits only one copy of the gene, they are considered a carrier and will not exhibit color blindness.
Is Alzheimer's Disease noncommunicable?
Of course! You will never "catch" Alzheimer's. While it has not been shown to be directly inherited, there is often a family history of the disease.

What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
What chromosome number is affected by alzheimer's disease?
Chromosome numbers: 1, 14, 19, and 21 are affected by Alzheimer's disease.
What type of condition is Familial Alzheimer's disease?
Familial Alzheimer's disease is a rare form of Alzheimer's disease that is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a mutation in a single gene from one parent can cause the disease. It typically affects individuals at a younger age compared to sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
Is it alzheimer or alzheimer's?
It is Alzheimer's.
Is breast cancer a sexlinked gene?
absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women I don't know the answer to the question, but the previous answer, "absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women" does not answer it. Sex-linked traits/genes can appear in both men and women.
Who discovered alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's disease was named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1906
Who is the disease Alzheimer's named after?
Alzheimer's disease is named after Alois Alzheimer, a physician.
How did Alois Alzheimer die?
Alzheimer's
If someone had alzheimer can you get it?
Alzheimer's Disease is thought to be hereditary, but it is not communicable -- you can't "catch" Alzheimer's.
