Depends on the disease. With some, the genetic condition that causes the disease has been identified, and genetic testing can determine if you have the disease before symptoms appear.

Is prenatal diagnosis of Alzheimer disease possible?

There are some genetic tests for Alzheimer's Disease, but I do not believe they are offered as part of routine prenatal genetic testing. However, you may be able to order the tests through a specialist when you have an amniocentesis performed for other genetic conditions. The Alzheimer's test is unlikely to be covered by health insurance. For a thorough consultation, speak with a reputable genetic counselor, and your obstetrician.
