Characteristic of FTDP-17 is a. a phenotype that may be mistaken for \(\mathrm{AD}\) b. linkage to chromosome 17 c. abnormal Tau accumulation d. all of the above e. none of the above

Short Answer

Expert verified
Answer: d. all of the above

Step by step solution

01

Identify characteristics of FTDP-17 related to the answer options

Based on information known about FTDP-17, we can confirm the following characteristics: - Phenotype: It may present clinical features similar to Alzheimer's disease, such as progressive behavior changes, language deficits, and memory impairment. - Linkage: FTDP-17 is indeed linked to chromosome 17. - Tau accumulation: One of the key features of FTDP-17 is the presence of abnormal Tau accumulation within neurons, leading to cell death and neurodegeneration.
02

Match the characteristics to the answer options

Now we compare the characteristics that we have confirmed for FTDP-17 to the answer options: a. a phenotype that may be mistaken for AD - True, the phenotype may present similarities to Alzheimer's b. linkage to chromosome 17 - True, FTDP-17 is linked to chromosome 17 c. abnormal Tau accumulation- True, this is a key feature of the disease
03

Select the correct answer

Since all three options (a, b, and c) are true characteristics of FTDP-17, the correct answer is: d. all of the above
