Abstract excerpt
A primary haplotype (H1) of the microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) gene is associated with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mechanism for disease susceptibility remains unknown. We examined the promoter region of MAPT and identified single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions of 1 to 11 nucleotides. These polymorphisms corresponded to the previously characterized haplotypes, H1 and H2, as well as...
