  1. Novel presenilin 1 and 2 double knock-out cell line for in vitro validation of PSEN1 and PSEN2 mutations

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2020-02-04 Biomarkers

    Mutations in APP (amyloid precursor protein), PSEN1 (presenilin 1) or PSEN2 (presenilin 2) are the main cause of early-onset familial forms of Alzheimer's disease (autosomal dominant AD or ADAD).

  2. A Novel PSEN1 M139L Mutation Found in a Chinese Pedigree with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Increases Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2019-01-01 Biomarkers

    The novel PSEN1 M139L mutation found in familial AD increases the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio significantly.

  3. A Novel PSEN1 K311R Mutation Discovered in Chinese Families with Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Affects Amyloid-β Production and Tau Phosphorylation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2017-01-01 Biomarkers

    The K311R mutation might contribute to AD pathogenesis by overproducing toxic Aβ species and enhancing tau phosphorylation.

  4. Pooled-DNA sequencing identifies novel causative variants in PSEN1, GRN and MAPT in a clinical early-onset and familial Alzheimer's disease Ibero-American cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2012-08-20 Genetics

    We found pathogenic mutations in PSEN1, GRN and MAPT in 2.33% of the screened cases.

  5. The PSEN1 I143T mutation in a Swedish family with Alzheimer's disease: clinical report and quantification of Aβ in different brain regions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2010-07-14 Biomarkers

    Early-onset dominantly inherited forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are rare, but studies of such cases have revealed important information about the disease mechanisms.
