## Abstract The __MAPT__ gene that encodes Tau is located on chromosome 17q21, in a region, which has evolved to form two major haplotypes, H1 and H2. There is strong evidence that the H1 haplotype, and a subβhaplotype (H1C), are overrepresented and associated with increased risk for the sporadic t
## Abstract Linkage studies have suggested a susceptibility locus for lateβonset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) on chromosome 21. A functional candidate gene in this region is the Ξ²βamyloid precursor protein (APP) gene. Previously, coding mutations in APP have been associated with early onset Alzheimer
