Journal ArticleDOI

Complete analysis of the presenilin 1 gene in early onset Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The intron/exon structure of the gene is elucidated and intronic primers are designed to enable direct sequencing of the entire coding region (10 exons) of the presenilin gene in a large number of families.
Journal ArticleDOI

APOE genotype does not modulate age of onset in families with chromosome 14 encoded Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: This work assessed whether the APOE genotype had an influence on the age of onset of AD in chromosome 14 linked early-onset AD families and no significant effect of the APoe genotype on onset age could be detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphism in AACT gene may lower age of onset of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: If AACT genotype has an effect on risk for AD it may be predominantly amongst individuals with early onset AD, while the mean age of onset was apparently lowered by the presence of the AACT AA genotype among ApoE-4 bearers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Confirmation that familial clustering and age of onset in late onset Alzheimer's disease are determined at the apolipoprotein E locus.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that familial clustering in late onset Alzheimer's disease is associated with the zeta 4 allele of apolipoprotein E, and it is suggested that the effect of a single zeta4 allele is to increase the risk of developing AD by an amount equivalent to 5 years.
