Scots boy, 6, diagnosed with dementia after displaying same symptoms as great uncle

A Scots boy was diagnosed with dementia when he was just six - after displaying similar symptoms to his 80-year-old great uncle who was battling the same disease.

Kayden Traynor, from Edinburgh, was active and healthy when he began suffering from memory loss, seizures and his mobility skills and eyesight began to deteriorate.

Worried mum Valerie Traynor, 34, noticed that his symptoms were similar to those of her 80-year-old uncle George who had been diagnosed with dementia a few years earlier.
