BACKGROUND: Mutations in the presenilin 1 (PS1) and presenilin 2 (PS2) genes, and more rarely in beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP), underlie the pathogenesis of most cases of familial Alzheimer disease (FAD). OBJECTIVE: To screen the entire coding region of the PS1 and PS2 genes and exons 16 and 17 of the betaAPP to find pathogenetic mutations in FAD. Patients Patients with FAD were consecutively enrolled...
