Abstract excerpt
Extensive neuronal loss and aggregation of tau as cytoplasmic inclusions in neurons and glial cells in selected cortical and subcortical regions is the most striking characteristic of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, which is caused by exonic or intronic mutations in the tau gene. Here, we examined the effects of four exonic mutations in four-repeat tau using stably transfected...
