Abstract excerpt
Mutations at codon 717 in exon 17 of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene have previously been shown to segregate with early onset Alzheimer's disease in some families. We have identified a double mutation at codons 670 and 671 (APP 770 transcript) in exon 16 which co-segregates with the disease in two large (probably related) early-onset Alzheimer's disease families from Sweden. Two base pair...
