The k variant of the butyrylcholinesterase gene is associated with reduced phosphorylation of tau in dementia patients.

Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

Accumulating evidence suggests that butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) plays an important role in the progression of cognitive deficits and Alzheimer-type pathology in dementia patients. We examined the relationship between the K variant of BuChE and the severity of deposits of amyloid (Abeta(1-42)) and phosphorylated tau in the temporal cortex (BA36) of 30 prospectively studied autopsy-diagnosed dementia (Alzheimer's...
