We sequenced the entire coding region of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes of 11 unrelated patients with Japanese familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) in order to determine the exact frequency of known APP gene mutations and to search for novel mutations responsible for FAD. Three out of 11 (2
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
