Abstract excerpt
The cytoskeletal pathology of a patient with familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) associated with the probably causal amyloid precursor protein (APP) codon 717 Val----Ile mutation is described. In addition to moderately extensive beta A4 protein deposition within the substance of the brain and in blood vessel walls (congophilic angiopathy), there was abundant cytoskeletal pathology in the form of neurofibrillary...
