Mutations

MAPT T17M

Overview

Pathogenicity: Frontotemporal Dementia : Benign
Clinical Phenotype: None
Reference Assembly: GRCh37/hg19
Position: Chr17:44039753 C>T
dbSNP ID: rs144611688
Coding/Non-Coding: Coding
DNA Change: Substitution
Expected RNA Consequence: Substitution
Expected Protein Consequence: Missense
Codon Change: ACG to ATG
Reference Isoform: Tau Isoform Tau-F (441 aa)
Genomic Region: Exon 1

Findings

This variant was identified in one Nigerian individual from the Yoruba population.

Neuropathology

Not applicable.

Biological Effect

This varient results in an amino acid substitution in the N-terminal of the tau protein. In silico analysis predicted a possible effect on protein function, but the confidence of the prediction was low (Guerreiro et al., 2010).
