Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the 5'-upstream promoter region of the presenilin 2 gene (PSEN2) for regulatory elements and examined Alzheimer disease (AD) patients and non-demented individuals for polymorphisms in the 5' upstream promoter region of the PSEN2 gene. Direct sequencing analysis detected a common single adenine (A) nucleotide deletion polymorphism in the upstream promoter region of the PSEN2 gene. Examination of...
