  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Two siblings with deletion mutation ∆K281 in <jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic> developed frontotemporal dementia. At autopsy, numerous inclusions of hyperphosphorylated 3R Tau were present in neurons and glial cells of neocortex and some subcortical regions, including hippocampus, caudate/putamen and globus pallidus. The inclusions were argyrophilic with Bodian silver, but not with Gallyas–Braak silver. They were not labelled by an antibody specific for tau phosphorylated at S262 and/or S356. The inclusions were stained by luminescent conjugated oligothiophene HS-84, but not by bTVBT4. Electron cryo-microscopy revealed that the core of tau filaments was made of residues K254-F378 of 3R Tau and was indistinguishable from that of Pick’s disease. We conclude that <jats:italic>MAPT</jats:italic> mutation ∆K281 causes Pick’s disease.</jats:p>
