Diverse somatic genomic alterations in single neurons in chronic traumatic encephalopathy. [PDF]
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease that is linked to exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI), yet little is known about its pathogenesis. Applying two single-cell whole-genome sequencing methods to hundreds of neurons

Perivascular glial reactivity is a feature of phosphorylated tau lesions in chronic traumatic encephalopathy. [PDF]
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease associated with repetitive head injuries, is characterised by perivascular hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) accumulations within the depths of cortical sulci. Although the majority of CTE

The first NINDS/NIBIB consensus meeting to define neuropathological criteria for the diagnosis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. [PDF]
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegeneration characterized by the abnormal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein within the brain. Like many other neurodegenerative conditions, at present, CTE can only be definitively diagnosed

<sup>18</sup>F-MK-6240 tau PET in patients at-risk for chronic traumatic encephalopathy. [PDF]
Molecular biomarkers of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are lacking. We evaluated 18F-MK-6240 tau PET as a biomarker for CTE. Two studies were done: (1) 3H-MK-6240 autoradiography and an in-vitro brain homogenate binding studies on postmortem CTE ...

A structural haplotype in the 17q21.31 MAPT region is associated with increased risk for chronic traumatic encephalopathy endophenotypes. [PDF]
Summary: Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy associated with repetitive head impact (RHI) exposure. Genetic variation in the 17q21.31 region, containing microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), has been implicated in
