Abstract excerpt
The presenilins (PSs) are components of large molecular complexes that contain beta-catenin and function as gamma-secretase. We report here a striking correlation between amyloid angiopathy and the location of mutation in PS-1 linked Alzheimer's disease. The amount of amyloid beta protein, Abeta(42(43)), but not Abeta(40,) deposited in the frontal cortex of the brain is increased in 54 cases of early-onset...
