The BACE gene: genomic structure and candidate gene study in late-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is characterized by beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Studies of autosomal dominant early-onset AD mutations suggest that beta-amyloid overproduction is sufficient to cause AD. Recently, the BACE gene, which encodes beta-secretase, the rate lim...
