title: [Familial Alzheimer's disease in France: results of a preliminary survey].
abstract: This study concerns French families with Alzheimer's disease (13 families, with 37 diseased individuals). The incidence of female patients is higher than that of males. Variance of the age of onset is less important for intra-familial than inter-familial cases. The mean duration of the disease is shorter for early onset forms. One of these families was retained for molecular genetics studies.
