Abstract excerpt
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a clinically, pathologically and genetically highly complex disorder. In the last few years enormous progress has been made in dissecting the genetic etiology of FTLD. Mutations have been identified in the progranulin gene (PGRN), the charged multivesicular body protein 2B gene (CHMP2B) and the valosin-containing protein gene (VCP). Mutations in these genes all lead to...
