Familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by memory impairment and multiple cognitive deficits which occurs in mid to late life. Early onset AD has been associated with mutations in three genes, of which presenilin 1 (PS1) mutations are the most frequent. We s
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
Over fifty missense mutations in the presenilin-1 (PSEN1) gene have been reported in families with presenile familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). We describe a novel missense mutation (G209R) within the predicted fourth transmembrane domain of the PSEN1 in a Japanese family with presenile FAD. The af
