Abstract excerpt

Although mutations in the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) gene are known to confer high risk of Alzheimer disease (AD) to a small percentage of families in which it has early onset, convincing evidence of a major role for the APP locus in late-onset AD has not been forthcoming.
