Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tau gene (MAPT) have been found in families with frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17. In addition, the MAPT H1-clade specific sub-haplotype, H1c, has been strongly associated with the tauopathies, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and, to a lesser extent, with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In Parkinson's disease (PD), there have...
