S2 Ep6: Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Disease: A View From Within

Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Disease (DIAD) is a rare form of Alzheimer’s disease that causes memory loss and dementia in people typically in their 30s to 50s. The disease affects less than 1 percent of the total population and is devastating to those who are impacted by it, including their families. Joe talks to Dr. Randy Bateman, the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Distinguished Professor of Neurology, director and principal investigator of DIAN-TU and Dr. Roy Yaari, senior medical advisor of neurodegeneration at Lilly, about DIAD, the factors that were considered in the design of the DIAN-TU Study, and AD research in clinical trials. Joe also talks to patient advocate Daisy Duarte about her family experience with DIAD and why she advocates for LatinosAgainst Alzheimer’s.
