Abstract excerpt
In some families with early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenic mutations have been found in exons 16 and 17 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene. One case of schizophrenia has been described with a mutation at codon 713. We have developed a single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method that detects mutations in these exons and investigated 98 AD cases and 56 elderly healthy controls. An...
