I think these days you can actually find services to sequence your genes to calculate likelihood… But I cakap kosong because idk what’s the Malaysia landscape looks like for the legit ones.
lol, i mean assuming if that figure is accurate i literally can’t do anything. it’s basically RNG lol. I believe FDA fast-tracked dementia medication, which can only delay further progression of the disease. I don’t think it can be prevented…
dementia can be caused by single gene (simple inheritance), or multiple gene variants, or by interactions between those variants with your lifestyle and environment (complex inheritance). If it’s the simple type, and your parents both have the same mutation, you definitely would get it. Complex is less straightforward- you likely did inherit at least 1 copy, but it won’t necessarily mean you will for sure get it. In fact you may not even develop it. It does increase the risk though, and some say healthy diet and healthy lifestyle can reduce this risk to zero.

Unless it’s a single-gene mutation, won’t be super predictive
Ooh that’s got me curious - for this case when both parental lines have history, does that not matter in assessing likelihood or just not at all?

I see, thank you!
