Mutational Screening in Exon 6 of the PSEN2 Gene in Iranian Patients with Late-Onset Alzheimer\'s Disease
Background and Aims: One of the most important genes involved in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the presenilin2 (PSEN2) gene, which is one of the main constituents of the gamma-secretase complex. Mutations in this gene promote the formation of amyloid plaques resulting in AD. The study aimed to evaluate the mutation variant in exon 6 of the PSEN2 gene in patients with Late-Onset AD (LOAD). Due to ...
متن کاملFamilial Alzheimer disease among Caribbean Hispanics: a reexamination of its association with APOE.
OBJECTIVES To reexamine the association between the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele (APOE epsilon4) and familial Alzheimer disease (AD), and to search for novel genes that may be associated with susceptibility in Caribbean Hispanic families with a history of AD. METHODS Families were identified in Caribbean Hispanic communities in the greater New York City area, the Dominican Republic, and P...
متن کاملIdentification of Alzheimer disease-relevant genes using a novel hybrid method
Identifying genes underlying complex diseases/traits that generally involve multiple etiological mechanisms and contributing genes is difficult. Although microarray technology has enabled researchers to investigate gene expression changes, but identifying pathobiologically relevant genes remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we apply a new method for selecting the disease-relevant gen...
متن کاملPsychiatric onset Alexander disease: an important challenge in neuropsychiatric diagnosis
Introduction: Alexander disease is a heterogenous group of diseases with various manifestations based on age of disease onset. This rare leukodystrophy syndrome with mutations in GFAP Gene could present with developmental delay and seizure in infantile form to ataxia and bulbar palsy in adulthood. However psychiatric symptoms are not well-defined and usually evaluate after disease diagnosis not...
متن کاملFrequency of mutations in the presenilin and amyloid precursor protein genes in early-onset Alzheimer disease in Spain.
BACKGROUND The relative contribution of mutations in the presenilin (PSEN) and amyloid precursor protein genes to autosomal dominant and other early-onset Alzheimer disease (AD) cases is not well established. OBJECTIVES To clarify the respective contribution of the amyloid precursor protein and PSEN mutations to autosomal dominant AD and to determine its contribution to sporadic and familial ...
