Abstract excerpt
Human presenilin-1 (PS1) mutations are associated with the incidence of familial Alzheimer's disease. The present study evaluated the behavioral and neurochemical effects of the L235P mutation (substitution of leucine by proline at codon 235) of the human PS1 gene, which has been linked to a form of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Except for a significant increase in the production of beta-amyloid-42, the mutant...
