MAPT and early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease: TRA2B has been shown to be involved in splicing processes of Nasp (nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein), MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) and SMN (survival motor neuron), and is therefore implicated in spermatogenesis and neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease and spinal muscular atrophy.
