Variability of Age at Onset in Siblings With Familial Alzheimer Disease
Arch Neurol 64:1743-1748, G�mez-Tortosa,E.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
There is a wide discrepancy in AO in affected siblings that is not clearly explained by a single clinical variable or apolipoprotein E genotype. The interaction of many factors probably determines AO in each affected individual. However, maternal transmission of AD seems to result in a similar AO in offspring, and the risk of developing dementia after the parent�s reported AO decreases significantly.
