A mutation in Alzheimerʼs disease destroying a splice acceptor site in the presenilin-1 gene

Abstract excerpt

A series of mutations has been reported in the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene which cause early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). The mutations reported to date have encoded missense mutations which alter residues conserved between PS-1 and the presenilin-2 (PS-2) gene. We have recently determined the intron/exon structure of the PS-1 gene and this information has been used to identify a mutation in the splice acceptor...
