Abstract excerpt
We studied neuropathologically 3 patients of a previously unreported kindred of presenile Alzheimer disease (AD), characterized by a G to T mutation at base pair 1924 (695 transcript) of the amyloid precursor protein gene. Classic features of presenile AD are observed. Neurofibrillary tangles with paired helical filaments as well as neuritic plaques are found in large number in neocortex and hippocampus....
