[Genetic coherence between hereditary amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia].

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has traditionally been considered purely as a motor condition with a progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons, and without cognitive or behavioural impairment. In 2011 a new genetic mutation that may cause both ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) was detected.
