Loss of brain tau defines novel sporadic and familial tauopathies with frontotemporal dementia

Abstract excerpt

Dementia lacking distinctive histopathology (DLDH) or frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD) is the most common neuropathological diagnosis for sporadic frontotemporal dementias (FTDs). The hallmarks of DLDH are neuron loss and gliosis in the absence of any disease-specific brain lesion.
