Abstract excerpt

We report the finding of an insert mutation in the chromosome 20 amyloid precursor gene in a family with neuropathologically-verified, experimentally-transmitted Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker syndrome (GSS). The insert consisted of 8 extra copies of a repeating octapeptide coding sequence in the region between codons 51 and 91; it was identified in the proband and a presently unaffected at-risk niece by full...
