Abstract excerpt
The microtubule-associated protein Tau, generated by the MAPT gene is involved in dozens of neurodegenerative conditions ("tauopathies"), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration/frontotemporal dementia (FTLD/FTD). The pre-mRNA of MAPT is well studied and its aberrant pre-mRNA splicing is associated with frontotemporal dementia. Using a PCR screen of RNA from human brain tissues,...
