Entry term(s) tauopatías
Scope note: Trastornos neurofegenerativos que implican una sedimentación de isoformas de la proteína tau anormales (PROTEÍNAS TAU) en las neuronas y células de la glia del cerebro. Los agregados anatomopatológicos de las proteínas tau se asocian con mutación del gen tau en el cromosoma 17 en pacientes con ENFERMEDAD DE ALZHEIMER, DEMENCIA, TRASTORNOS PARKINSONIANOS, PARÁLISIS SUPRANUCLEAR PROGRESIVA y degeneración corticobasal.

Scope note: Neurodegenerative disorders involving deposition of abnormal tau protein isoforms (TAU PROTEINS) in neurons and glial cells in the brain. Pathological aggregations of tau proteins are associated with mutation of the tau gene on chromosome 17 in patients with ALZHEIMER DISEASE; DEMENTIA; PARKINSONIAN DISORDERS; progressive supranuclear palsy (SUPRANUCLEAR PALSY, PROGRESSIVE); and corticobasal degeneration.
