Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the presenilin 1 gene cause most early onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). Here, we report that a defect in the cell cycle - improper chromosome segregation - can be caused by abnormal presenilin function and therefore may contribute to AD pathogenesis. Specifically we find that either over-expression or FAD mutation in presenilin 1 (M146L and M146V) leads to chromosome missegregation and...
