Revue neurologique - 1 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
Genetic linkage studies suggest that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is genetically heterogeneous and that in several early onset families the disease locus is close to the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome 21. Recently, several mutations of APP gene have been described. We screened 100 sporadic and familial cases of early onset AD in order to determine the frequency of two of these mutations, APP 717...
