p(HGNC:FYN) association p(HGNC:MAPT, pmod(Ph))
FYN expression is increased in brains from patients with AD, specifically in a subset of neurons with elevated hyperphosphorylated tau protein (Shirazi and Wood, 1993), but it is not known whether this increase in FYN contributes to hyperphosphorylation of tau or is a protective response to it. In extracts of human brains from patients with AD, soluble FYN increases with cognitive score and synaptophysin levels and inversely with the tangle count, suggestive of a pro-cognitive role for FYN (Ho et al., 2005).
