Molecular genetics of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

Application of genetic paradigms to Alzheimer's disease (AD) has led to confirmation that genetic factors play a role in this disease. Additionally, researchers now understand that AD is genetically heterogeneous and that some genetic isoforms appear to have similar or related biochemical consequences. Genetic epidemiologic studies indicate that first-degree relatives of AD probands have an age-dependent risk for...
