Abstract excerpt
About 2% of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases have early onset (FAD) and are caused by mutations in either Presenilins (PSEN1/2) or amyloid-β precursor protein (APP). PSEN1/2 catalyze production of Aβ peptides of different length from APP. Aβ peptides are the major components of amyloid plaques, a pathological lesion that characterizes AD. Analysis of mechanisms by which PSEN1/2 and APP mutations affect Aβ peptide...
