Mutations within the Abeta sequence of the AbetaPP gene are associated with familial forms of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). One mutation, Abeta D23N, was identified in a family in Iowa with a clinical history of early-onset dementia. We analyzed the pattern of Abeta deposition in the hippocampus of an individual with Iowa CAA. In addition to strong amyloid angiopathy, we found unusual diffuse Abeta deposits...
