Exploring genetic linkages within families

As a retirement destination, Georgetown is one of our country’s fastest-growing cities and home to a large and growing number of age-restricted communities of people who remain actively engaged in community service, and a multitude of social and recreational lifestyles. 

Whether they want to be closer to their families in nearby Austin, Temple, Dallas or Houston, these folks care about their families and are uniquely poised to engage in long-term, multi-generational studies of aging and neurodegenerative disease.
