Although most cases of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are sporadic, some cases are
clearly familial. This review, part of the Genomic Medicine series, examines the genetics of
these familial forms. Although the inherited forms are rare, the knowledge derived from
investigating their pathobiology has improved our understanding of the pathobiology of the
more common, sporadic forms of the diseases.
