Regulation and Expression of the Alzheimer's β/A4 Amyloid Protein Precursor in Health, Disease, and Down's Syndromea
1 Sept 1993
Abstract excerpt
A four- to fivefold overexpression of the gene for the Alzheimer beta/A4 amyloid precursor protein (APP) in individuals with Down's Syndrome (DS) appears to be responsible for the fifty year earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology in DS compared to the normal population. It is therefore likely that a deregulated overexpression of the APP gene is a risk factor for the beta/A4 amyloid formation. To test...
