Abstract excerpt
We present prospective clinical and neuropathologic details of a pedigree segregating familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) associated with a mutation (G----A substitution) at nucleotide 2149 in exon 17 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene. This mutation, which is predicted to cause the misse...
