Abstract excerpt
We have examined genomic DNA from 40 cases of autopsy-confirmed early-onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD) (age at onset <=65 years) that were all unselected for family history. We have sequenced the 10 exons and flanking intronic sequences of the presenilin-1 (PS-1) gene for all 40 individuals. A single mutation, a deletion of a G from the intron 4 splice-donor consensus sequence, was detected in two individuals in...
