Abstract excerpt
Three missense mutations in exon 17 of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene have been reported to cosegregate in families with early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). All three mutations result in amino acid substitutions at codon 717 and may produce AD by altering the structure of the transmembrane domain of APP. Alternatively, the mutations may destabilize the stem of a putative iron-responsive element...
