Abstract excerpt
Identification of a specific genetic cause of early onset dementia (EOD) is important but can be difficult because of pleiotropy, locus heterogeneity and accessibility of gene tests. Here we assess the use of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies as a quick, accurate and cost effective method to determine genetic diagnosis in EOD. We developed gene panel based technologies to assess 16 genes known to...
