Association of MAPT haplotypes with Alzheimer’s disease risk and MAPT brain gene expression levels
1 Jul 2014
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: MAPT encodes for tau, the predominant component of neurofibrillary tangles that are neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Genetic association of MAPT variants with late-onset AD (LOAD) risk has been inconsistent, although insufficient power and incomplete assessment of MAPT haplotypes may account for this. METHODS: We examined the association of MAPT haplotypes with LOAD risk in...
