Physiologic assessment of autonomic dysfunction in pallidopontonigral degeneration with N279K mutation in the tau gene on chromosome 17.

Abstract excerpt

Autonomic function was investigated in five affected and five at-risk members of a single kinship of pallidopontonigral degeneration (PPND), which is a progressive syndrome of parkinsonism and frontotemporal dementia resulting from a mutation in the N279K tau gene on chromosome 17.
