    Abstract Defective genes play an important role in some, if not all cases of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Epidemiologic case control studies, family pedigree analysis, and recent twin studies clearly implicate inherited gene defects in development of the disease. In addition to defective genes, trisomy 21 also results in the neuropathology of AD and an increased risk of early dementia. The genetics of AD have been partially resolved. In some rare kindreds, AD is inherited by an autosomal dominant mechanism. In some of these rare families, mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome 21 are responsible for AD. APP mutations appear to account for approximately 5% of early-onset familial AD (FAD). Linkage analysis and a genomic scanning strategy have been used recently to localize an early-onset FAD locus to chromosome 14q24.3. This, as yet unidentified gene, accounts for FAD in most of the early-onset FAD kindreds which do not carry APP mutations. The chromosome 14 FAD locus is found in ethnically diverse populations including European Caucasians, Hispanics from Mexico, and in at least 1 Japanese family. However, the chromosome 14 locus is not responsible for FAD in the Volga German FAD families, a group of ethnically related kindreds with family age-of-onset means ranging from 50 to 65 years. Also, the chromosome 14 locus does not appear to be responsible for late-onset FAD. A locus on chromosome 19 appears to be a risk factor for AD in at least some late-onset FAD kindreds.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

    Abstract The genetics of Alzheimer disease (AD) are complex and not completely understood. Mutations in the amyloid precursor protein gene (APP) can cause early-onset autosomal dominant AD. In vitro studies indicate that cells expressing mutant APPs overproduce pathogenic forms of the A beta peptide, the major component of AD amyloid. However, mutations in the APP gene are responsible for 5% or less of all early-onset familial AD. A locus on chromosome 14 is responsible for AD in other early-onset AD families and represents the most severe form of the disease in terms of age of onset and rate of decline. Attempts to identify the AD3 gene by positional cloning methods are underway. At least one additional early-onset AD locus remains to be located. In late-onset AD, the apolipoprotein E gene allele epsilon 4 is a risk factor for AD. This allele appears to act as a dose-dependent age-of-onset modifier. The epsilon 2 allele of this gene may be protective. Other late-onset susceptibility factors remain to be identified.

    Abstract Three genetic loci for Alzheimer's disease have been identified. These are the amyloid precursor gene on chromosome 21, a gene for early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease on chromosome 14, and the risk-modifying gene APOE on chromosome 19. Additional Alzheimer's disease genes remain to be found. The genes identified by studying inherited forms of Alzheimer's disease are now being used to understand the initiating steps in the pathogenesis of the disease.

    Abstract We briefly describe the evidence for etiologic heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease. Several different genetic and environmental factors may act separately or in combination to produce the AD phenotype. This potential heterogeneity presents special challenges to those attempting to identify specific genetic influences in the pathogenesis of AD.

    Abstract The ABCB1 gene, coding for the efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (PGP), is a candidate gene for Alzheimer disease (AD). P-glycoprotein is heavily expressed at the blood-brain barrier, where it mediates the efflux of β-amyloid (Aβ) from the brain. In this study, we investigated a possible association between 2 common ABCB1 polymorphisms, G2677T/A (Ala893Ser/Thr) and C3435T, AD, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of Aβ. No strong evidence for association was found.

    Abstract Linkage to 7q has been the most robust genetic finding in familial autism. A previous scan of multiplex families with autism spectrum disorders found a linkage signal of genome-wide significance at D7S530 on 7q32. We searched a candidate imprinted region at this location for genetic variants in families with positive linkage scores. Using exon resequencing, we identified three rare potentially pathogenic variants in the TSGA14 gene, which encodes a centrosomal protein. Two variants were missense mutations (c.664C>G; p.P206A and c.766T>G; p.C240G) that changed conserved residues in the same protein domain; the third variant (c.192+5G>A) altered splicing, which resulted in a protein with an internal deletion of 16 residues and a G33D substitution. These rare TSGA14 variants are enriched in the affected subjects (6/348 patients versus 2/670 controls, Fisher's exact two tailed P = 0.022). This is the first report of a possible link of a gene with a centrosomal function with familial autism.
