Abstract excerpt
A number of neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the presence of abundant deposits containing Tau protein. Expression of the human tau gene is under complex regulation.

These mutations affect either biochemical/biophysical properties or the delicate balance of different splicing isoforms. In this review, we...
