30 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Arg406Trp (R406W) missense mutation in the microtubule-associated protein-tau gene (MAPT) is a known cause of early-onset dementia. Various dementia phenotypes have been described, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), FTD with parkinsonism, and early-onset Alzheimer disease (EOAD)-like presentations.
