Abstract excerpt
Mutations found in the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene in a small subset of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with the development of the disease. Several lines of evidence indicate that specific isoforms of APP generated by alternative splicing of the primary transc...
