Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the beta-amyloid precursor protein gene cosegregate with the early-onset form of familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD). It is not known how these mutations result in disease; however, one early-onset AD mutation in a Swedish kindred increases potentially amyloidogenic fragments and beta-protein production in cells expressing the mutant beta-APP. Using a novel recombinant reporter system we found a...
