Abstract excerpt
Intronic MAPT mutations altering exon 10 splicing lead mainly to an increase of 4Rtau. The objective of this study is to report clinical, genetic, and neuropathological data of an apparently sporadic early onset frontotemporal dementia (FTD) case associated with 2 novel intronic MAPT gene mutations IVS10+4A > C and IVS9-15T > C that increase 3Rtau. Methods and subjects used are clinical, neuroradiological, and...
