The structure of the presenilin 1 (S182) gene and identification of six novel mutations in early onset AD families

TL;DR: This work has localized the PS-1 gene to a 75 kb region and present the structure of this gene, evidence for alternative splicing and describe six novel mutations in early onset FAD pedigrees all of which alter residues conserved in the STM26 (Presenilin 2: PS-2) gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropsychological Profile of a Large Kindred with Familial Alzheimer's Disease Caused by the E280A Single Presenilin-1 Mutation

TL;DR: The hypothesis that memory complaints represent the earliest symptom of familial Alzheimer's disease was supported and minor cognitive impairments were found, particularly, mild anomia, concentration difficulties and defects in the understanding of complex verbal material.
Journal ArticleDOI

E280A PS-1 mutation causes Alzheimer's disease but age of onset is not modified by ApoE alleles

TL;DR: The presence of a single mutation and the common geographic origin, with all families from the state of Antioquia, suggest a founder effect in this population of early‐onset Alzheimer's disease cases, supported by the observation of a rare haplotype inherited with AD in all kindreds.
