Persistent and Progressive Outer Retina Thinning in Frontotemporal Degeneration
ObjectiveWhile Alzheimer’s disease is associated with inner retina thinning measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), our previous cross-sectional study suggested outer retina thinning in frontotemporal degeneration (FTD ...

A 43-kDa TDP-43 species is present in aggregates associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration. [PDF]
The transactive response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) is a major component of the abnormal intracellular inclusions that occur in two common neurodegenerative diseases of humans: (1) a subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration and (2) amyotrophic ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Tau, p-Tau 181 and Amyloid-beta(38/40/42) in Frontotemporal Dementias and Primary Progressive Aphasias [PDF]
Background/Aims: We determined cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of amyloid-beta(A beta)(1-38), A beta(1-40), A beta(1-42), total tau and phospho-tau (p-tau) in order to study their differential expression in frontotemporal dementia (FTD, n = 25 ...

Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration [PDF]
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a syndromic diagnosis that encompasses at least three different variants. Imaging modalities are clinically useful in FTLD, although pathology remains the gold standard for definitive diagnosis. To date, four different genes have been identified that account for FTLD.
