600759.0001; ALZHEIMER DISEASE, FAMILIAL, TYPE 4 |
| Identified Mutation |
ASN141ILE; In 3 out of 4 pedigrees of Volga German ancestry, Rogaev et al. [Nature 376: 775-778 (1995)] found heterozygosity for an A-to-T substitution at nucleotide 787 causing an asn141-to-ile (N141I) missense mutation in probands affected with Alzheimer disease. Presumably this mutation achieved high frequency in the Volga Germans through founder effect. |
| Remarks |
The donor (Volga German) exhibits progressive dementia. The donor's father, grandfather, and 10 siblings are affected with Alzheimer disease. The culture was initiated by transformation of lymphocytes with Epstein Barr virus. The cells grow in suspension and their morphology is spherical. The karyotype is 46,XY with 2% of the cells examined showing random chromosome loss. A heterozygous substitution (A>T at nucleotide 787) in the AD4 [presenilin 2 (PSEN2)] gene results in Asn141Ile (N141I) missense mutation. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
