  • Summary

  • Today’s episode explores a compelling yet underrecognized connection — the link between Alzheimer’s disease and Down syndrome. We’re joined by Dr. Stephanie Santoro and clinical social worker Clo Cottrell from the Down Syndrome Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. We discuss why individuals with Down syndrome are at an increased risk for Alzheimer’s, how symptoms may present differently, and the challenges for caregivers. We also discuss the critical need for inclusive clinical trials to better understand Alzheimer's treatments for those with Down syndrome.
