Tau proteins with FTDP‐17 mutations have a reduced ability to promote microtubule assembly
23 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
Recently exonic and intronic mutations in the gene for microtubule-associated protein tau have been discovered in cases of familial frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17). Intronic mutations have been shown to lead to an abnormal preponderance of four-repeat tau isoforms. The effects of the exonic mutations are unknown. We report here that the G272V, P301L, V337M and R406W...
