Abstract excerpt
In this study we identified 62 estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) mRNA splice variants in different human brain areas of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and control cases and classified them into 12 groups. Forty-eight of these splice forms were identified for the first time. The distribution of alternatively spliced ERα mRNAs was brain area- and case-specific. The dominant negative deletion (del.) 7 isoform appeared to be...
