## Abstract The __MAPT__ gene that encodes Tau is located on chromosome 17q21, in a region, which has evolved to form two major haplotypes, H1 and H2. There is strong evidence that the H1 haplotype, and a sub‐haplotype (H1C), are overrepresented and associated with increased risk for the sporadic t
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD) based on observations that senile plaques have been found to upregulate proinflammatory cytokines. Additionally, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been found to delay and pr
We examined 180 siblings of 127 probands with probable or possible Alzheimer's dementia (AD) in a family study of AD. The overall sensitivity of a simple family history questionnaire was 64% and the specificity was 84%. Sensitivity improved 90-100% with minimal decline in specificity when we conside
Our experience with two genetically confirmed cases of late onset Huntington's disease (HD) in a longitudinal dementia research study suggested that clinical misdiagnosis can easily occur. We therefore undertook genetic testing for H D in a further 84 elderly subjects, 81 of whom had come to postmor
