Abstract excerpt
The deposition of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the Abeta formation. BACE mutations/polymorphisms may be associated with AD. We searched the BACE coding region mutations/polymorphisms of cDNA in 25 AD patients and 100 healthy controls by single-strand conformational...
