    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2006-04-12 Drug development

    Guam parkinsonism-dementia complex (PDC) is a neurodegenerative tauopathy in ethnic Chamorro residents of the Mariana Islands that manifests clinically with parkinsonism as well as dementia and is characterized neuropathologically by prominent cortical neuron loss in association with extensive telencephalic neurofibrillary tau pathology.

  2. Tau-positive fine granules in the cerebral white matter: a novel finding among the tauopathies exclusive to parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 2005-10-01 Drug development

    We examined the autopsied brains of cases of 6 types of tauopathy: parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam (PDC), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), Pick disease, Alzheimer disease (AD), and myotonic dystrophy together with Guamanian controls.

  3. Biochemical and ultrastructural study of neurofibrillary tangles in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex in the Kii peninsula of Japan

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 2003-07-01 Drug development

    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex of the Kii peninsula (Kii ALS/PDC) is a neurodegenerative disorder endemic to natives in the southern coast area of the Kii peninsula of Japan.
