Phenotypes associated with the disease Alzheimer disease 5 (OMIM:602096):
- Late onset (HP:0003584): A type of adult onset with onset of symptoms after the age of 60 years. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:602096)
- Autosomal dominant inheritance (HP:0000006): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Evidence: IEA. (OMIM:602096)
- Alzheimer disease (HP:0002511): A degenerative disease of the brain characterized by the insidious onset of dementia. Impairment of memory, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe apraxia and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuropil threads. Evidence: TAS. Onset: Late onset (HP:0003584). (OMIM:602096)
