Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive deterioration of cognition and memory in association with widespread neuronal loss. AD is supposed to be very often associated with missense mutation located on homologous protein Presenilin (PS1) and (PS2). Up to now, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of the gene mutation in AD still remain unclear. (omitted)
