Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease (EOAD)

Disease Info
Under 50 yearsVery rare, primarily genetic forms
50-59 years~1% of AD cases
60-64 years~5-10% of AD cases
Down syndromeTrisomy 21 leads to APP overexpression; ~50% develop AD by age 60[^6]
Head traumaHistory of traumatic brain injury increases risk
Cardiovascular risk factorsDiabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia
EducationLower educational attainment associated with earlier onset
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA)Visual processing deficits, often mistaken for ocular disease[^8]
Logopenic aphasiaLanguage-dominant presentation with word-finding difficulties
Behavioral variant FTD-likePersonality changes, disinhibition (can be PSEN1-related)
Corticobasal syndromeMotor symptoms with asymmetric rigidity
Average delay2-3 years from symptom onset to diagnosis
