Neurofibrillary tangles, containing hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau, are one of the major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. To investigate a possible association between tau genotypes and the risk of Alzheimer's disease, we screened for polymorphisms in the tau gene and found a novel polymorphism IVS11 + 90G --> A. A case-control study (874 patients and 678 controls) showed a...
