Abstract excerpt
We describe the biological consequences on PSEN1 exons 8 or 9 splicing and Abeta peptides production of four PSEN1 mutations associated with a phenotypic variant of Alzheimer disease, which includes cotton wool plaques and spastic paraparesis (CWP/SP). Two of these mutations (c.869-22_869-23ins18 and c.871A > C, p.T291P) are novel mutations located in intron 8 and exon 9, respectively. The c.869-22_869-23ins18...
