WHO WE ARE?

The Horizon 21 Consortium was born from a collaboration between clinicians from various european centers offering a consultation dedicated to adults and seniors with Down syndrome.

This program aims at identifying the factors that influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease in persons with Down syndrome. The consortium wants also to develop cognitive assesment tools and biomarkers which could be relevant for clinical trials. Of course, the main objective is to prevent and/or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease in this specific population.
