Abstract excerpt
We report the second phenotype of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 with S305N similar to Pick's disease pathology in two brothers. The brain of the older brother showed macroscopic atrophy compatible with Pick's disease, and subsequent tau gene analysis revealed heterozygous S305N mutation in exon 10 of the tau gene. Round-shaped neuronal inclusions similar to Pick's bodies were...
