Welcome to JFADdb

Japanese Familial Alzheimer's Disease (JFAD) database contains information about mutations in genes linked to dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2) as well as FTDP-17 (MAPT and GRN) in the Japanese population. The database was created by searching for publications in PubMed and ICHUSHI, a bibliographic database of reports published in Japanese language, analyzing FAD and FTDP-17 patients for mutations in respective genes. The database provides comprehensive information for basic researchers and clinicians to obtain an overview of the reported mutations and pedigrees in the Japanese population and compare their findings and clinical presentations with status of the literature.
