Excerpt
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders of sporadic or inherited origin, characterized by microtubule-associated tau protein (MAPT) hyperphosphorylation, misfolding, polymerization and aggregation, resulting in different intracellular inclusions. Over fifty mutations of MAPT gene have been described so far [
3]. Recently, de novo P364S mutation in exon 12 was found in a male patient with FTDP-17 [
2], but the associated neuropathology was not reported. We describe the P364S MAPT mutation-associated tauopathy clinical course in two sisters, in whom post-mortem analysis revealed striking composite neuronal tau inclusions (CNTI). …
