Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene are associated with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. 40-50% of the risk for late-onset disease has been attributed to alleles at the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) locus. We have looked for an association between PS-1 and late- onset disease. METHODS...
