Abstract
This invention is directed to methods and compositions for preventing aggregation of amyloid .beta.-protein (.beta.AP) aggregation. Aggregation of amyloid .beta.-protein is associated with the deposition of amyloid in the brain. Amyloid .beta.-protein-binding compounds such as transthyretin are described which form complexes with .beta.AP and prevent formation of amyloid. This invention also identifies the serine 6 mutation in the TTR gene as predictive of person at risk for developing .beta.AP associated amyloidosis.
