Genetic testing and clinical trials

Does anyone else have a strong family history for dementia or other neurologic disorders? I’ve tried to enroll in a “non-affected” clinical trial, but have had no response. Has anyone successfully done this?

I too am wondering what I should do. My mom is 93 in the late stages of ALZ/dementia. I am 68 what research or testing should I be involved in. It is a horrible disease and any prevention or slowing the progression would be amazing.

We have found that UT San Antonio has a “brain bank” for the study of Alzheimer’s patient brains after they pass away. We are doing this with my Mom-discussed it with her before she became further advanced. I wish I had more information for us who are left as relatives
