Mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene account for the majority of familial early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) cases. We screened the coding part of the PS1 gene for the presence of mutations in a French family with EOAD, using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. Patients
