Abstract excerpt
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are sporadic neurodegenerative diseases presenting as atypical parkinsonian disorders, characterized by the presence of tau-positive neurofibrillary tangles. Recently, an extended haplotype (H1E) of 787.6 kb that comprises several genes including MAPT showed increased association with PSP. The objective of this study was to determine the...
