Methods A pedigree with early-onsetfamilial Alzheimer's disease was recruited. The clinicaldata of the proband who was admitted to ShengjingHospital in March 2018 and the family members werecollected. The DNA sequences of 53 dementia relatedgenes were screened using next-generation sequencingtechnology in the blood sample of the proband. The point mutation discovered in the proband was also investigatedin some family members. Results There were five memberswith Alzheimer's disease in the pedigree,includingthe proband,a 42 years old female. The onset age of apedigree member was 33 years and that of the probandwas 37 years. A point mutation from T to C at position698 (M233T) in the exon 7 of presenilin 1 (PS1) genewas found in the proband and two other family memberswho were clinically normal. Conclusion The M233T mutationof PS1 gene can lead to early-onset familialAlzheimer's disease. This family is the first pedigree withM233T mutation of PS1 gene in China,which deservesclinical attention.展开更多
