Abstract excerpt
Phenotype in patients with granulin (GRN) mutations is unpredictable, ranging from behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) to agrammatic variant of primary progressive aphasia (avPPA). To date the wide clinical variability of FTLD-GRN remains unexplained. The aim of the study was to identify genetic pathways differentiating phenotypic expression in patients carrying GRN mutations. Patients carrying the...
