## Background: Early-onset familial alzheimer's disease (eofad) is linked to mutations in three autosomal dominant genes: ps1, ps2 and app. the clinical presentation and age of onset of mutations is variable. ## Objectives: The aim of this report is to describe a novel ps1 mutation believed to be

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
The entire coding regions of BRCA1 and BRCA2 were screened for mutations by heteroduplex analysis in 51 Mexican breast cancer patients. One BRCA1 and one BRCA2 truncating mutation each was identified in the group of 32 (6%) early-onset breast cancer patients (< or =35 years). Besides these two likel
