Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The extended tau H1 haplotype has previously been described in association with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). Recently, a new gene called saitohin (STH), nested within an intron of tau, has been discovered. The Q7R polymorphism of STH appears to be related to late onset Alzheimer's disease. OBJECTIVES: To search for genetic changes in the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of tau and adjacent...
