A Novel AβPP M722K Mutation Affects Amyloid-β Secretion and Tau Phosphorylation and May Cause Early-Onset Familial Alzheimer's Disease in Chinese Individuals.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutations within exons 16 and 17 of the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) gene were the first known causes of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (EOFAD). Since the first AβPP mutation was reported, 39 different AβPP variations have been discovered in EOFAD. OBJECTIVE: We described a novel AβPP M722K mutation found in a Chinese familial Alzheimer's disease pedigree and confirmed its effects on...
