Newest firstAbstract Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease diagnosed according to its histopathologic pattern of tau proteinopathy (“tauopathy”). It is increasingly appreciated that PSP is heterogeneous in both clinical and pathological presentations. However, the prevalence of PSP subtypes, in comparison to other tauopathies, remain incompletely characterized. Here we analyzed NACC Neuropatholog…
Open article record in new tab ↗Tauopathies are a heterogeneous group of neurologic diseases characterized by pathological axodendritic distribution, ectopic expression, and/or phosphorylation and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein TAU, encoded by the gene MAPT. Neuronal dysfunction, dementia, and neurodegeneration are common features of these often detrimental diseases. A neurodegenerative disease is considered a primary tauopath…
Aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) is the hallmark pathology in a spectrum of neurodegenerative disorders collectively called tauopathies. Physiologically, tau is an inherent neuronal protein that plays an important role in the assembly of microtubules and axonal transport. However, disease-associated mutations of this protein reduce its binding to the microtubule components and promote s…
Open article record in new tab ↗•We report the immunohistochemical and biochemical features of an FTDP-17 case with MAPT IVS 10 + 14C > T mutation.•Postmortem examination of the patient with bvFTD revealed diffuse neuronal and glial 4-repeat tau pathology similar to CBD.•The structure of tau filaments associated with MAPT IVS 10 + 14C > T mutation was characterized by electron microscopy.
Open article record in new tab ↗The microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) H1 haplotype is the strongest genetic risk factor for corticobasal degeneration (CBD). However, the specific H1 subhaplotype association is not well defined, and it is not clear whether any MAPT haplotypes influence severity of tau pathology or clinical presentation in CBD. Therefore, in the current study we examined 230 neuropathologically confirmed CBD cases and 1312…
Intracellular filamentous tau pathology is the defining feature of tauopathies, which form a subset of neurodegenerative diseases. We have analyzed pathological tau in Alzheimer's disease, and in frontotemporal lobar degeneration associated with tauopathy to include cases with Pick bodies, corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, and ones due to intronic mutations in MAPT. We found that the C-ter…
