Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of a hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72, a gene of unknown function implicated in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in Australian FTD patient cohorts and to examine the clinical and neuropathologic phenotypes associated with this expansion. METHODS: We examined a clinically ascertained FTD cohort (n = 89) and a neuropathologically...
