Abstract excerpt
Over 45 mutations within the coding region of presenilin-1 (PS-1) are associated with an autosomal dominant form of Alzheimer's disease. Recently allele 1 of a polymorphism within intron-8 was reported to be in disequilibrium with Alzheimer's disease in a group of patients with sporadic Alzheimer's disease. This association has been replicated in some, but not all, studies. To determine whether the PS-1 intronic...
