Abstract excerpt
Disease-causing mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene have been found on chromosome 21 during the last 2 years in some early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) families. Genetic evidence shows that other genes than the APP are also involved in the aetiology of AD. Linkage to a loci on chromosome 14 has been found in early onset disease. The identification of APP mutation has led to the realization...
