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.
