Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the frequency of mutations of the beta/A4 amyloid protein precursor (APP) gene in early-onset Alzheimer disease, we designed a mismatched PCR-RFLP that can identify all kinds of missense mutations at codon 717 in addition to the seven kinds of known mutations at exon 17. When we screened mutations at exon 17 utilizing this method and the double missense mutations at exon 16 of the APP gene by...
