Diagnostic Challenge in Frontal Variant Alzheimer's Disease With Low Amyloid‐β PET Retention
ABSTRACT Diagnosing frontal variant Alzheimer's disease (fvAD) is difficult and could be even more difficult when amyloid‐beta (Aβ) PET retention is low. A 63‐year‐old woman presenting with a 3‐year history of apathy and memory impairment showed executive dysfunction, memory impairment, and severe bilateral frontotemporal atrophy on MRI.

Dysphagia and Mortality Risk in Individuals With Primary Progressive Apraxia of Speech
ABSTRACT Individuals with primary progressive apraxia of speech (PPAOS) often develop parkinsonism and dysphagia. To evaluate the clinical correlates and impact of dysphagia in this population, we compared enrollment visit data between individuals with (n = 12) versus individuals without (n = 44) dysphagia symptoms.

A 14‐Year Study of Serum Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein and Total Tau in Premanifest Huntington's
ABSTRACT There is a pressing need for blood biomarkers that can identify Huntington's disease (HD) gene carriers' proximity to manifest disease. We previously examined serial serum neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations in 21 premanifest HD gene carriers and 14 controls over 14 years, finding that NfL demonstrates high prognostic value and distinct ...

KIF5A p.Pro986Leu Risk Variant and Accelerated Progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
ABSTRACT This study explored the impact of KIF5A rs113247976 (p.Pro986Leu), a risk allele for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), on phenotypic variability in two Italian ALS cohorts (discovery, n = 865; replication, n = 1174). The minor allele (T) frequency was 0.015.
