Abstract excerpt
Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder. In addition to the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene on chromosome 19, linkage studies suggest the existence of multiple susceptibility genes for late-onset AD. Genome-wide linkage and chromosome-12-specific linkage studies have identified a broad 50-cM pericentromeric region between 12p12 and 12q13 among non- APOE*4...
