Abstract excerpt
The T allele in rs1768208 located in or near the myelin oligodendrocyte basic protein gene (MOBP) is a risk factor for frontotemporal degeneration pathology. We evaluated the hypothesis that the presence of a T allele in rs1768208 will be associated with rate of cognitive decline in behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration (bvFTD) related to compromised frontal networks. We studied 81 individuals clinically...
