Monogenic inheritance in early-onset dementia: illustration in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal lobar dementia.

Abstract excerpt

Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) and frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) account for the majority of early-onset dementia (onset before 65 years). The high frequency of genetic forms is a common feature of EOAD and FTLD. A lot of efforts have been done to unravel the genetic bases of monogenic forms of these two diseases. PSEN1, APP and PSEN2 are the major causes of monogenic EOAD while GRN, MAPT and...
