The levels of p-tau and t-tau in the CSF and serum were assessed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and disease progression parameters, including the duration, the ALSFRS-R score, disease progression rate (DPR), the upper motor neuron (UMN) score, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) score, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, and the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioral ALS Screen (ECAS) results, were analyzed by registered neurologists. The gene discussed is MAPT; the disease is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
