Alzheimer dementia caused by a novel mutation located in the APP C-terminal intracytosolic fragment

Abstract excerpt

Since the first report showing that Alzheimer disease (AD) might be caused by mutations in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP), 20 different missense mutations have been reported. The majority of early-onset AD mutations alter processing of APP increasing relative levels of Abeta42 peptide, either by increasing Abeta42 or decreasing Abeta40 peptide levels or both. In a diagnostic setting using direct...
