DNA Change: Substitution
Expected RNA Consequence: Substitution
Expected Protein Consequence: Missense
Codon Change: ACG to ATG
Reference Isoform: Tau Isoform Tau-F (441 aa)

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).
