Well you started off good and then wandered into bizzaro land. First, we don't know what brings about the prion misfolding that leads to AD, but it seems that people with family history of the disease tend to develop it as well. So no need for a fictional disease.

Also, the first striking sign of AD is actually the loss of the ability to smell.

I liked the previous version of this more.
