Abstract excerpt
Tau is one of several proteins associated with frontotemporal dementia. While knowing which protein is causing a patient's disease is crucial, no biomarker currently exists for identifying tau in vivo in frontotemporal dementia. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential for the promising 18F-MK-6240 PET tracer to bind to tau in vivo in genetic frontotemporal dementia. We enrolled subjects with...
