Different MAPT haplotypes influence expression of total MAPT in postmortem brain tissue [PDF]
The MAPT gene, encoding the microtubule-associated protein tau on chromosome 17q21.31, is result of an inversion polymorphism, leading to two allelic variants (H1 and H2). Homozygosity for the more common haplotype H1 is associated with an increased risk

The effect of age and the H1c MAPT haplotype on MAPT expression in human brain
The MAPT H1c haplotype is a risk factor for the neurodegenerative tauopathies progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Alzheimer's disease. We hypothesise that the effect of the H1c haplotype relates to an increase in MAPT expression leading to an ...

Role of the Long Non-Coding RNA MAPT-AS1 in Regulation of Microtubule Associated Protein Tau (MAPT) Expression in Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Studies investigating the pathogenic role of the microtubule associated protein tau (MAPT) gene in Parkinson's disease (PD) have indicated that DNA methylation of the promoter region is aberrant in disease, leading to dysregulated MAPT expression.

Functional MAPT haplotypes: Bridging the gap between genotype and neuropathology
The microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) locus has long been associated with sporadic neurodegenerative disease, notably progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration, and more recently with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

The MIR-NAT MAPT-AS1 does not regulate Tau expression in human neurons. [PDF]
The MAPT gene encodes Tau protein, a member of the large family of microtubule-associated proteins. Tau forms large insoluble aggregates that are toxic to neurons in several neurological disorders, and neurofibrillary Tau tangles represent a key ...

What’s in a Gene? The Outstanding Diversity of MAPT [PDF]
Tau protein is a microtubule-associated protein encoded by the MAPT gene that carries out a myriad of physiological functions and has been linked to certain pathologies collectively termed tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, Huntington’s disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, etc.

乳腺癌生存期相关长非编码 MAPT-AS1 及其共表达基因筛选与验证 [PDF]
【目的】筛选乳腺癌患者生存期相关差异表达长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)及其共表达基因,并验证其乳腺癌细胞中的表达情况。【方法】通过TCGA数据库筛选943例RNA-seq数据信息:(837例乳腺癌患者+106例正常对照),发现长非编码MAPT-AS1高表达,乳腺癌患者生存期更长。构建长非编码MAPT-AS1过表达和干扰质粒,将构建好的质粒转染乳腺癌细胞株T47D,并用嘌呤霉素筛选出稳定表达的T47D细胞株,通过RT-qPCR验证长非编码MAPT-AS1及其共表达基因的表达情况。【结果 ...
