Abstract excerpt
About 30-70% of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases are related to mutations in presenilin-1 gene (PSEN1). Although the role of mutations and common variants in AD had been extensively investigated, the contribution of rare or low frequency PSEN1 variants on AD risk remains unclear. In the current study, we performed a mutational screening of PSEN1 coding exons and flanking intronic sequences among 53 index...
