Family History can also be the cause of Alzheimer's Disease, ApoE 4 is a type of gene in the human which is also known as the risk gene which can be past down from generation to generation, it would cause the person to have two to three times more possibility of having the disease. There is a second gene called deterministic gene, it is rarer than the risk gene and is found in about a few hundred extended families around the world, this would cause the victim to have a 100% chance of Alzheimer's disease and most probably at an earlier age than 65.
