Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background A population of >6 million people worldwide at high risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are those with Down Syndrome (DS, caused by trisomy 21 (T21)), 70% of whom develop dementia during lifetime, caused by an extra copy of β‐amyloid‐(Aβ)‐precursor‐protein gene (APP). This is in contrast to non‐DS patients who inherit just the duplication of the APP gene (DupAPP), who develop EOAD with 100% penetr...
