Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of [18F]AV1451 PET in visualizing tau pathology in vivo in a patient with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) associated with the V337M microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) mutation. METHODS: MAPT mutations are associated with the deposition of hyperphosphorylated tau protein in neurons and glia. The PET tracer [18F]AV1451 binds with high affinity to paired helical filaments tau...
