0.010 GeneticVariation BEFREE Because the mutations (V337M, P301L) are associated with genetic tauopathies, these results suggest that a factor in disease etiology of genetic tauopathies and other dementias with altered tau is a greater abundance of tau in the cytoplasm due to decreased binding to microtubules. 11170176 2001
