As early as 1909 a German scientist suspected that the viruses causing chickenpox and shingles were one and the same. In the 1920's and 1930's the case was strengthened. (references)

Building on this finding, researchers at Harvard Medical School showed that changing the structure of presenilin 1 at its active site dramatically altered a cell's ability to make the gamma secretase cut in APP (Kimberly et al., 2000). This correlation was also shown to be true for presenilin 2, the protein product of a gene very similar to presenilin 1 that, when mutated, can cause familial early-onset AD. These results strongly suggested, but did not prove, that gamma secretase and the presenilins were one and the same. Further evidence supporting this possibility came from a pharmaceutical company-supported team, closely followed by the Harvard Medical School group. (references)
