Gene promoter methylation and expression of Pin1 differ between patients with frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease
文摘

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer disease (AD) show fibrillar aggregates.

Pin1 facilitates tau dephosphorylation playing a neuroprotective function.

A higher methylation in three CpG sites at PIN1 promoter was seen in FTD patients.

We found a lower gene expression of Pin1 in FTD patients than AD patients.

Pin1 has an important but distinct involvement in these two types of dementia.
