Tau accumulation in intracellular aggregates is a major hallmark of tauopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases which includes Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), agyrophilic grain disease, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration, and traumatic brain injury (Goedert, Wischik, Crowther, Walker, & Klug, 1988; Lee, Goedert, & Trojanowski, 2001). This evidence concerns the gene MAPT and tauopathy.
