The PSEN1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called presenilin 1. (nih.gov)
More than 150 PSEN1 gene mutations have been identified in patients with early-onset Alzheimer disease, a degenerative brain condition that begins before age 65. (nih.gov)
Mutations in the PSEN1 gene are the most common cause of early-onset Alzheimer disease, accounting for up to 70 percent of cases. (nih.gov)
Almost all PSEN1 gene mutations change single building blocks of DNA (nucleotides) in a particular segment of the PSEN1 gene. (nih.gov)
At least one mutation in the PSEN1 gene has been found to cause hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin disease characterized by recurrent boil-like lumps (nodules) under the skin that develop in hair follicles. (nih.gov)
The identified mutation deletes a single DNA building block (nucleotide) from the PSEN1 gene, written as 725delC. (nih.gov)
Studies suggest that the PSEN1 gene mutation that causes hidradenitis suppurativa has a different effect on γ-secretase function than the mutations that cause early-onset Alzheimer disease. (nih.gov)
These differences may explain why no single PSEN1 gene mutation has been reported to cause the signs and symptoms of both diseases. (nih.gov)
