Abstract excerpt
Consistent pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the formation of brain amyloid and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Levels of the major protein component of NFTs, the microtubule associated protein Tau, were shown to be increased in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of AD patients as compared to age-matched controls. The presence of apolipoprotein E-epsilon 4 allele (APOE4) is a risk factor for sporadic...
