The goal of the Chinese Familial Alzheimer's disease Network (CFAN), which is China's first registration system for patients with familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), is to provide patients having FAD and their families with the most professional clinical diagnoses, genetic examination and counseling, and intervention. The CFAN research team comprisesdoctors who are professional for the diagnosis and treatment of cognitive disorders. Please contact us if you or your family members have exhibited FAD-like symptoms.

FAD has the following characteristics:

There are at least two first-degree relatives in two or more successive generations of the family members who have exhibited a memory impairment, personality change, and/or decline or loss of the ability to perform activities of daily living;

Individuals are excluded if they have congenital cognitive disorders, such as mental retardation, before the age of 25.

If you or your family members have exhibited any of the signs mentioned above, please register with CFAN. Based on the clinical information submitted by you, medical professionals from our network team will make a preliminary determination about whether the symptoms are consistent with those of FAD and provide a response. If the preliminary diagnosis indicates that an individual may be suffering from FAD, we will contact you or your family in order to inform you of the possible clinical examinations that we can provide. If a definitive diagnosis of FAD is made, we will provide you and your family with a professional intervention program and genetic counseling services. The personal information of the registrant, patient, and family members is protected by the stringent privacy policies of our organization.
