Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) gene cosegregate with autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease (AD). Brain pathology of AD is characterized by amyloid deposition in senile plaques and by neurofibrillary tangles. Amyloid deposits in AD brains consist of amyloid beta (A beta), a 4...
