Genetic linkage studies with chromosome 21 DNA markers and mutation analysis of the β–amyloid protein precursor gene located in 21q21.3 have indicated that early–onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) is a heterogeneous disorder for which at least one other chromosomal locus exists. We examined two extended histopathologically confirmed EOAD pedigrees, AD/A and AD/B, with highly informative short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms and found complete linkage of the disease to a (CA)ndinucleotide repeat polymorphism at locusD14S43in 14q24.3 (Zmax= 13.25 at θ = 0.0). Using additional chromosome 14 STR polymorphisms we were able to delineate the region containing the EOAD gene to an area of, at most, 8.9 centiMorgans betweenD14S42andD14S53, flankingD14S43on both sides.
