Abstract excerpt
Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the tau gene. Many mutations identified in FTDP-17 have been shown to affect tau exon 10 splicing in vitro, which presumably causes pathologic imbalances in exon 10(-)...
