Abstrakt: We have identified a polymorphic compound dinucleotide repeat sequence in intron 1 of the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome 21. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the locus, designated APPivsl, we detected 13 alleles in the CEPH family members (heterozygosity = 0.69). Lod score analysis showed complete linkage of the marker to the loci D21S210 and D21221. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
