Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is the second most common early-onset dementia. Over the last few decades, a growing number of evidence suggests mitochondrial involvement in neurodegeneration, namely modifications of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contributing to energy impairment. OBJECTIVE: To sequence the 7 mitochondrially encoded complex I (MT-ND) genes in 70 FTLD patients and investigate...
