Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network (DIAN)

The Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Network (DIAN) is a research initiative focused on studying families with a genetic form of Alzheimer’s disease passed down through generations. By examining these families, scientists aim to understand how the disease starts and progresses before symptoms appear. This research helps identify early biomarkers and potential interventions, with the goal of developing effective treatments for all types of Alzheimer’s. DIAN’s work is crucial in uncovering the genetic and biological factors involved, ultimately advancing efforts to prevent or delay the onset of this neurodegenerative condition.
