Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

The PSEN1 gene has multiple transcriptional variants and its functions could include the cleavage of APP and notch receptor protein. PSEN1-null mice die shortly after birth [1368]. Inactivating PSEN1 in the postnatal forebrain reduced beta-amyloid generation with subtle cognitive deficits [1374]. Mutations in the human PSEN1 gene cause early-onset Alzheimer's disease [1381], though PSEN1's role in human ageing remains largely unknown.
