Abstract excerpt
The MAPT H1c haplotype is a risk factor for the neurodegenerative tauopathies progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Alzheimer's disease. We hypothesise that the effect of the H1c haplotype relates to an increase in MAPT expression leading to an increase in tau neurofibrillary tangle deposition. We have evaluated the effect of the MAPT H1c haplotype on the expression of MAPT using allele specific expression,...
