Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous mutations in the genes for amyloid precursor protein (APP), the presenilins (PS1, PS2), prion protein (PrP), neuroserpin, and tau are associated with early-onset dementia (EOD) with or without neurological signs in the early disease stage. To investigate the proportion of EOD without early neurological signs attributable to known genes we prospectively (i.e., ante mortem) screened these six genes for...
