Evidence for linkage of the Alzheimer's gene to markers on chromosomes 19 and 2 1 was assessed using single-locus and two-locus models of inheritance. Families were divided into groups determined by their average age at onset. The youngest group produced higher lod scores for markers on chromosome 2
