ABeta amyloidosis, Arctic type
Name: |
ABeta amyloidosis, Arctic type
|
Description: |
A form of hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis characterized by an age of onset of 54-61 years and progressive Alzheimer's disease-like dementia. This subtype is due to a mutation in the APP gene (21q21.2), encoding the beta-amyloid precursor protein. This mutation causes an increased accumulation of amyloid-beta protein in the walls of the arteries and capillaries of the meninges, cerebellar cortex and cerebral cortex, leading to the weakening and eventual rupture of these vessels.
