Segregation of a missense mutation in the amyloid precursor protein gene with familial alzheimers-disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in this kindred, which shows linkage to chromosome 21 markers, there is a point mutation in the APP gene that causes an amino-acid substitution close to the carboxy terminus of the β-amyloid peptide.
