A handful of patients in the study displayed symptoms of early onset Alzheimers, with the youngest at 38 years old, and others were found to have the associated protein in their brains when they died. Researchers concluded that it is possible to develop Alzheimers from the transfer of a contaminated hormone, but they cautioned against overextending the scope of the results.
