Alzheimer disease-caused by mutations in the APP gene. More than 50 different mutations in the APP gene can cause early-onset Alzheimer disease, which begins before age 65. These mutations are responsible for less than 10 percent of all early-onset cases of the disorder.lzheimer disease-caused by mutations in the APP gene.
