Abstract excerpt
The inheritance of Alzheimer's disease in some families, as well as ablation/rescue genetics in mice, suggest that point mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene can cause disease through an unknown gain-of-function. While mutations associated with familial Alzheimer's can alter apoptotic rates and beta-amyloid precursor processing, it is possible that other physiological effects contribute to pathogenesis. We...
