Abstract excerpt
Amyloid fibrils deposited in cerebral vessel walls in Dutch patients with hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis (HCHWA-D) are formed by polymerization of a 39-residue peptide similar to the beta-protein of Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy and normal aging. Sequence analysis of genomic DNA in HCHWA-D patients demonstrated a point mutation, cytosine for guanine at...
