## Abstract Linkage studies have suggested a susceptibility locus for lateโonset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) on chromosome 21. A functional candidate gene in this region is the ฮฒโamyloid precursor protein (APP) gene. Previously, coding mutations in APP have been associated with early onset Alzheimer
## Abstract Pompe disease is a rare, progressive disease leading to skeletal muscle weakness due to deficiency of the acid ฮฑโglucosidase (GAA) enzyme. Herein we report the first diagnosed Finnish patient with a phenotype compatible with the lateโonset form of Pompe disease. Molecular genetic analys
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
