Abstract excerpt
Different mutations in the microtubule-associated tau protein gene have recently been identified in several families with hereditary frontotemporal dementia and Parkinsonism (FTDP-17) linked to chromosome 17q21-22.

We have investigated the presence of tau deposits by using a panel of anti-tau antibodies in...
