Abstract excerpt
Familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD)-linked presenilin (PS) mutations show gain-of-toxic-function characteristics. These FAD PS mutations are scattered throughout the PS molecule, reminiscent of the distribution of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and p53 mutations. Because of the scattered distribution of PS mutations, it is difficult to infer mechanistic insights about how these mutations cause...
