Association of missense and 5′-splice-site mutations in tau with the inherited dementia FTDP-17

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors sequenced tau in FTDP-17 families and identified three missense mutations (G272V, P301L and R406W) and three mutations in the 5' splice site of exon in
Journal ArticleDOI

The neuropathology of a chromosome 17-linked autosomal dominant parkinsonism and dementia ("pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration").

TL;DR: It is concluded that pallido-ponto-nigral degeneration is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neuronal and glial tau-rich inclusions formed from aggregated filaments and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins and can be subcategorized into the tauopathy group of chromosome 17-linked neurodegenersative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giant cell arteritis in association with cerebral amyloid angiopathy: Immunohistochemical and molecular studies

TL;DR: The GCA seen in these cases of CAA most likely represents a foreign body response to amyloid proteins, causing secondary destruction of the vessel wall, and anti-smooth muscle actin immunohistochemistry suggests the occurrence of medial destruction by amyloids, with relative preservation of intimal cells.
