The beta APP717 Alzheimer mutation increases the percentage of plasma amyloid-beta protein ending at A beta 42(43)
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
We measured plasma levels of amyloid beta protein (A beta) ending at positions 40 (A beta40) and 42(43) [A beta42(43)] in six carriers of beta APP717 (Val to Ile) mutation linked to familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) as well as in patients with sporadic AD (sAD) and controls. The percentage and the level of A beta42(43) were significantly higher in carriers of beta APP717 mutation relative to sAD, whereas A...
