In summary, our results in this study suggest that ApoE4 genotype specific PIP2 dyshomeostasis contributes to the development of Tau hyper-phosphorylation after blast TBI exposure, and that elevation of brain PIP2 levels by reducing synj1 expression may ameliorate TBI- associated Tauopathy in ApoE4 carriers. This evidence concerns the gene SYNJ1 and tauopathy.
