Expression of BRI2 mRNA and protein in normal human brain and familial British dementia: its relevance to the pathogenesis of disease.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Two different disease-specific mutations in the BRI2 gene, situated on chromosome 13, have been identified as giving rise to familial British dementia (FBD) and familial Danish dementia (FDD). Each mutation results in extension of the open reading frame generating the disease-specific precursor proteins which are cleaved by furin-like proteolysis releasing the amyloidogenic C-terminal peptides ABri...
