Findings

This variant was detected in one out of 376 control cases from the KORA-Age cohort, based in Germany (Schulte et al., 2015). Limited information is available about this person, but according to a description of the cohort as a whole, all individuals were Caucasian and cognitively healthy at age 65 or older (Schulte et al., 2012).

Note that this variant was reported as R546H in tau isoform G (P10636-9), aka isoform 6 (NP_001116538), which is 776 amino acids in length. The name here, R211H, reflects this variant's position in tau isoform F (441 amino acids), which is conventionally used for naming tau mutations.
