The first mutation to be identified is in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene located on chromosome 21. APP is cleaved to form amyloid, a major component in amyloid plaques. Chromosome 21 was viewed as a likely site for Alzheimer's disease-causing mutations for two reasons: (1) it is the location of the APP gene and (2) the pathologic signs of Alzheimer's disease develop at a young age in people with Down syndrome (trisomy 21). The discovery of mutations in the APP gene was viewed by many scientists as the smoking gun indicating that the amyloid gene is the cause of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. However, mutations in APP are extremely rare and affect fewer than 24 people worldwide. I forget PSEN1 - Presenilin 1 |
