Abstract excerpt
Mutations that stimulate exon 10 inclusion into the human tau mRNA cause frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism, associated with chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), and other tauopathies. This suggests that the ratio of exon 10 inclusion to exclusion in adult brain is one of the factors to determine biological functions of the tau protein. To investigate the underlying splicing mechanism and identify potential...
