   TAU MUTATIONS         

 Author: Luc Buee, Inserm 422

Location of mutations on repeats (R) exons or introns, provoking an increase of specific tau isoforms.

Clinical and neuropathological phenotypes are very different according to the mutations, as well as the biochemical signatures. Furthermore, for a given mutation, there is an important heterogenity of the clinical phenotype, inside the same family.
