Regulated AS of another classical neurodegeneration-related IDP, tau protein, produces multiple isoforms controlling function of this protein in normal brain by influencing tau localization, conformation, post-translational modifications, availability, and affinity for microtubules and other ligands, whereas aberrations in tau splicing directly cause several neurodegenerative diseases, sporadic, and familial “tauopathies,” exemplified by AD, frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism (FTDP-17), Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21), and myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) (Andreadis, 2012). Here, MAPT is linked to Alzheimer disease.
