For example, tauopathies are characterised by deposition of tau protein, encoded by the MAPT (microtubule-associated protein tau) gene, and these include frontotemporal dementia (FTD), corticobasal degeneration, progressive supranuclear palsy, Pick’s disease, and other rarer neurodegenerative disorders (Goedert et al. 2017). Here, MAPT is linked to frontotemporal dementia.
