We describe a new mutation causing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in presenilin-1 (N135D) that is at the homologous site to the presenilin 2 mutation (N141I) in Volga German kindreds.
We found the mutations, G384A, E280A in two FAD and H163R in one sporadic AD patient, and no N1411 or M239V mutation in PS-2 gene, and no mutation in exons 16 and 17 in amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene.
