Abstract excerpt
The hexanucleotide repeat expansion (GGGGCC) in chromosome 9 open-reading frame 72 (C9orf72) and mutations in the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) and progranulin (GRN) genes are known to be associated with the main causes of familial or sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in Western populations. These genetic abnormalities have rarely been studied in Asian FTD...
