Abstract excerpt
Identified genetic mutations cause 20% of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and 5-10% of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases: however, for the remainder of patients the origin of disease is uncertain. The overlap in genetic, clinical and pathological presentation of FTD and ALS suggests these two diseases are related. Post-mortem, ~ 95% of ALS and ~ 50% of FTD patients show redistribution of the nuclear protein...
