Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence of a clinical, neuropathological and genetic overlap between frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We conducted a case-control study using a UK dataset to test the hypothesis that polymorphisms in two FTD-related genes (GRN and FT74) are associated with increased susceptibility to ALS. We evaluated the majority of known genetic variability in IFT74 and...
