Alzheimer’s mutation
Alzheimer’s mutation helps track tau Researchers in Colombia will soon harness cutting-edge imaging techniques to investigate the role of the tau protein in Alzheimer’s. It is the latest move in a long-running study of a group of people in the Antioquia region, who share a genetic mutation that causes the early onset of the disease. A pilot trial showed for the first time that tau begins to accumulate in the brain of people with the mutation six years before they start to show signs of the disease.
