Abstract excerpt
Aberrant phosphorylated tau is the major component of the neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3B) phosphorylates tau protein, and increased GSK-3B expression has been associated with neurofibrillary tangles. To determine whether polymorphisms in the GSK3B gene and microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) gene underpin susceptibility to late-onset...
