Alzheimer's disease and Dementia

"Genetics and Biomarkers in Dementia" is a specialized session or track within a conference that delves into the genetic factors and biomarkers associated with various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and vascular dementia. This session explores the role of genetic mutations, susceptibility genes, and genetic risk factors in the pathogenesis of dementia, as well as their implications for disease risk, progression, and inheritance patterns.

Experts in the field present recent research findings, advancements in genetic and biomarker discovery, and updates on the identification and validation of biomarkers for dementia diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring. Topics covered may include the use of genetic testing and genomic technologies to assess individual risk profiles, the identification of novel biomarkers in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and neuroimaging studies, and the integration of genetic and biomarker data into personalized approaches to dementia management.

Attendees can expect to gain insights into the complex interplay between genetics, biomarkers, and dementia pathophysiology, as well as the potential implications for precision medicine, early detection, and targeted interventions in the diagnosis and treatment of dementia-related conditions. Discussions may also address ethical considerations, practical challenges, and future directions in leveraging genetics and biomarkers to improve clinical care and research outcomes in the field of dementia.
