This research details the interphase FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) analysis of lymphoblast cells from individuals in Family VI, specifically examining duplication at the APP locus. The probe RP11-15D13, which includes the 5’-end of the APP gene, was labeled with Cy3-dUTP (red), while the probe CTB-63H24, containing the telomere of chromosome 21, was labeled with FITC-dUTP (green). Remarkably, all individuals except #118 exhibited evidence of APP duplication. Notably, individual #116 carried three copies of APP but showed no clinical signs of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) at the last examination.

RP11-15D13 containing the 5’-end of the APP gene was labeled in Cy3-dUTP (red) and CTB-63H24 containing the telomere of chromosome 21 was labeled in FITC-dUTP (green). With the exception of #118 (VI-II.5) all subjects show evidence for an APP duplication. #116 (VI-II.4) represents the individual carrying three copies of APP but without clinical evidence for AD at last examination (see Fig. 1).
