PP2A mRNA expression is quantitatively decreased in Alzheimer's disease hippocampus.

TL;DR: This study delineates the distribution of critical PP2A mRNAs and reveals a neuron- and subunit-specific reduction inPP2A catalytic and regulatory mRNA in AD hippocampus, which could result in decreased protein expression and phosphatase activity, leading to the hyperphosphorylation of tau and the formation of NFTs, as well as neuron degeneration in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain MR: Pathologic Correlation with Gross and Histopathology. 2. Hyperintense White-Matter Foci in the Elderly

TL;DR: Data suggest that subtle changes of gliosis and demyelination, presumably from chronic vascular insufficiency, and/or frank infarction account for the majority of hyperintense white-matter lesions seen in MR in elderly patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in COQ2 in familial and sporadic multiple-system atrophy the multiple-system atrophy research collaboration

Jun Mitsui, +74 more
TL;DR: Functionally impaired variants of COQ2 were associated with an increased risk of multiple-system atrophy in multiplex families and patients with sporadic disease, providing evidence of a role of impaired COQ1 activities in the pathogenesis of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frontotemporal dementia and its subtypes: a genome-wide association study

Raffaele Ferrari, +181 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that immune system processes (link to 6p21.3) and possibly lysosomal and autophagy pathways ( link to 11q14) are potentially involved in FTD.
