Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the beta-amyloid precursor protein gene (APP) have been found in familial early-onset Alzheímer's disease (AD). DNA variants at several genes have been linked to the risk of developing the most common late-onset form of AD (LOAD). A few studies analyzed the contribution of APP variants to LOAD, with negative or conflicting results. We determined the variation in the 18 APP exons and flanking intronic...
