Abstract excerpt
There is now considerable evidence that the gene encoding for tau protein (MAPT) is implicated in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The role of MAPT haplotypes in neurodegenerative diseases has been suggested, but their contribution in familial dementia has not been extensively investigated. Here, we investigated (1) the association between the MAPT haplotypes and sporadic (sFTD) or familial FTD (FFTD) (controls n =...
