Abstract excerpt
We performed an analysis of mutation patterns in all 10 hydrophobic regions (HRs) of presenilin-1 (PS-1) and PS-2 using a recent database of Alzheimer's disease (AD) mutations. The linear patterns were confirmed and extended to areas spanning as many as three faces of a given HR. The complementary areas of residues free of AD mutations were identified based on the location of non-pathogenic polymorphisms and PS-1...
