Association between the presenilin-1 mutation Glu318Gly and complaints of memory impairment.

Abstract excerpt

Presenilin-1 mutations account for nearly 50% of all early-onset familial cases of Alzheimer's disease. Most of these mutations are completely penetrant, although the recently described Glu318Gly substitution seems to have only partial penetrance. These findings suggest that the Glu318Gly mutation may work as a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. We designed the present study to investigate the frequency...
