Abstract Presenilin (Psn) protein is associated with organismal aging. Mutations in the Psn gene may lead to Alzheimer’s
disease (AD), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and many age-dependent degenerative diseases. These diseases seriously
affect the quality of life and longevity of the population and place a huge burden on health care and economic systems
around the world. Humans have two types of Psn, presenilin-1 (PSEN1) and presenilin-2 (PSEN2). Mutations in the
genes encoding PSEN1, PSEN2, and amyloid precursor protein (APP) have been identified as the major genetic
causes of AD. Psn is a complex gene strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The… More >
