Genetic screening in sporadic ALS and FTD [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2017
The increasing complexity of the genetic landscape in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) presents a significant resource and physician training challenge. At least 10% of those diagnosed with ALS or FTD are known to carry an autosomal dominant genetic mutation.

An MRI-based strategy for differentiation of frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2021
Background The differential diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is difficult due to the overlaps of clinical symptoms.

Structural and functional brain abnormalities place phenocopy frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in the FTD spectrum

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2016
'Phenocopy' frontotemporal dementia (phFTD) patients may clinically mimic the behavioral variant of FTD (bvFTD), but do not show functional decline or abnormalities upon visual inspection of routine neuroimaging. We aimed to identify abnormalities in gray matter (GM) volume and perfusion in phFTD and to assess whether phFTD belongs to the FTD spectrum.

Age at diagnosis in FTD.

open access: yes, 2014
(A) Age at diagnosis in FTD cases registered in SveDem 2008–2011. (B) The proportion of FTD cases in each age group in the total FTD cohort (blue bars), compared to those cases diagnosed in specialist centres where investigations included cognitive ...

CSF placental growth factor – a novel candidate biomarker of frontotemporal dementia

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019
Objective Diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is complicated by the overlap of clinical symptoms with other dementia disorders. Development of robust fluid biomarkers is critical to improve the diagnostic work‐up of FTD. Methods CSF concentrations

Restoration of Progranulin Expression Rescues Cortical Neuron Generation in an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Model of Frontotemporal Dementia

open access: yesStem Cell Reports, 2015
Summary: To understand how haploinsufficiency of progranulin (PGRN) causes frontotemporal dementia (FTD), we created induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients carrying the GRNIVS1+5G > C mutation (FTD-iPSCs).

CSF Biomarkers of Neurodegeneration in Progressive Non-fluent Aphasia and Other Forms of Frontotemporal Dementia: Clues for Pathomechanisms?

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) encompasses distinct pathophysiologically heterogenous disorders with different genetic and cellular disease mechanisms. The objective of this study is to compare the constellation of biomarkers of neurodegeneration in the ...

A Genome-Wide Screening and SNPs-to-Genes Approach to Identify Novel Genetic Risk Factors Associated with Frontotemporal Dementia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most prevalent form of early onset dementia after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We performed a case-control association study in an Italian FTD cohort (n = 530) followed by the novel SNPs-to-genes approach and ...

Motor Neuron Susceptibility in ALS/FTD

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of both upper and lower motor neurons (MNs) in the brain, brainstem and spinal cord. The neurodegenerative mechanisms leading to MN loss in ALS are not fully understood.
