Chemical compound and disease context of MAPT

 

Biological context of MAPT

  • We show that the entire, fully extended H1 haplotype is associated with PSP, which implicates several other genes in addition to MAPT, as candidate pathogenic loci [2].
  • Direct sequencing of the MAPT exonic sequences in 21 French FTDP families revealed in six index cases the same missense mutation in exon 10 resulting in a Pro-->Leu change at amino acid 301 [19].
  • There was an increased risk of PD for persons with either SNCA 261/261 or MAPT H1/H1 genotypes as compared with persons with neither (odds ratio, 1.96; 95% confidence interval, 1.34-2.86; p = 0.0003) [20].
  • Tau p.A152T significantly increases the risk for both FTD-s [... ORCI=1.6-5.6 ...] and Alzheimer's Disease [... ORCI=1.3-4.2]. Functionally, p.A152T (i) decreases the binding of tau to microtubules and therefore promotes microtubule assembly less efficiently; and (ii) reduces the tendency to form abnormal fibers [21]
  • We examined the promoter region of MAPT and identified single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions of 1 to 11 nucleotides [22].
  • Our study confirms the notion that the phenotype observed in affected individuals from P301S MAPT mutation families is heterogeneous and is broader than the phenotypes seen to date in affected family members carrying other MAPT mutations [23].
 

Anatomical context of MAPT

  • The observation of this mutation in several FTDP families might suggest that disruption of binding of MAPT protein to the microtubule is a key event in the pathogenesis of FTDP [19].
  • These findings suggest that the MAPT P301S mutation can cause pathologically subcortical-predominant, neuropil thread-rich, tau-containing lesions, which could result in consistent parkinsonism [23].
  • Microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) encodes the microtubule associated protein tau, the primary component of neurofibrillary tangles found in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders [24].
  • NFT is an important sign for the derangement of normal cytoskeletons in degenerating neurons [25].
  • Within the AD group, there was no significant correlation between the ApoE level and SP or neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) counts, either in the hippocampus (r = -0.14 and r = 0.55, respectively), or in the frontal cortex (r = -0.03 and r = 0.01, respectively) [26].
