Abstract
Alterations in tau mRNA splicing and association with H1/H1 tau genotype have been described in some sporadic tauopathies. We evaluated the 4R/3R tau mRNA ratio in 18 patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), and the effect of the H1/H1 genotype on this ratio. The 4R/3R mRNA ratio in frontal cortex was similar in FTLD patients and controls. The H1/H1 genotype carriers showed a significant increase in 4R/3R mRNA ratio, suggesting that this genotype could modulate the tau mRNA splicing.Entities:
