A Familial Alzheimer's Disease Locus on Chromosome 1

Abstract: The Volga German kindreds are a group of seven related families with autosomal dominant early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Linkage to known AD-related loci on chromosomes 21 and 14 has been excluded. Significant evidence for linkage to AD in these families was obtained with D1S479 and there was also positive evidence for linkage with other markers in the region. A 112-base pair allele of D1S479 co-segregated with the disease in five of seven families, which is consistent with a common genetic founder. This … Show more

“…The ethiology of AD is complex with involvement of genetic and environmental factors. Three relatively rare genes associated with early onset AD have been identified: the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP), the presenilin 1 gene (PS1) and the presenilin 2 gene (PS2), chromosomes 21, 14 and 1, [1][2][3][4] respectively.…”

“…Two of these loci encode related multipass transmembrane proteins, presenilins 1 and 2 (PS1 and PS2). Mutations in the genes encoding PS1 and PS2 loci are dominant and fully penetrant for early onset Alzheimer disease (2)(3)(4). The presenilins are ubiquitously expressed (3,4) and found in conjunction with intracellular membranes (5).…”

“…A patogenicidade das mutações do gene S182 foram confirmadas em famílias de diferentes etnicidades com DA familiar 63,64 . Em agosto de 1995, um novo gene (STM2) foi identificado no cromossomo 1 65,66 , e a seqüência de aminoácidos prevista para o STM2 é semelhante àquela descrita para o S182 67 . Esses genes parecem determinar a produção de uma proteína transmembranal que cruza a membrana em sete regiões distintas e que pode estar associada a um aumento na deposição de ß-amilóide 68 .…”
