Hence, we measured CRMP2 phosphorylation at Thr509, Thr514 and Ser522, as well as markers of β-amyloid (Aβ), tau-phosphorylation, α-synuclein and synaptic function in the postmortem neocortex of a longitudinally assessed cohort of LBD patients characterized by low (Parkinson’s disease dementia, PDD) and high (dementia with Lewy bodies, DLB) burden of Alzheimer type pathology. The gene discussed is MAPT; the disease is dementia.
