Selective Deposition of Mutant Tau in the FTDP-17 Brain Affected by the P301L Mutation
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is a familial neurological disorder exhibiting autosomal dominant inheritance. Linkage analyses have led to the identification of many exonic and intronic mutations in the tau gene in affected families. Because FTDP- 17 causes extensive neuronal loss and intracellular tau deposits in affected regions, investigation of this disease should...
