The genetic defect in familial Alzheimer's disease is not tightly linked to the amyloid beta-protein gene.

Abstract:

:Amyloid beta-protein (AP) is a peptide of relative molecular mass (Mr) 42,000 found in the senile plaques, cerebrovascular amyloid deposits, and neurofibrillary tangles of patients with Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome (trisomy 21). Recent molecular genetic evidence has indicated that AP is encoded as part of a larger protein by a gene on chromosome 21 (refs 5-7). The defect in the inherited autosomal dominant form of Alzheimer's disease, familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), has been mapped to the same approximate region of chromosome 21 by genetic linkage to anonymous DNA markers, raising the possibility that this gene product, which could be important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, is also the site of the inherited defect in FAD (ref. 5). We have determined the pattern of segregation of the AP gene in FAD pedigrees using restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The detection of several recombination events with FAD suggests that the AP gene is not the site of the inherited defect underlying this disorder.
