Abstract excerpt
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, characterized by distinct changes in behavior, personality, and language. Our study performed whole exome sequencing and repeat-primed PCR analysis in 29 unrelated FTD patients. Consequently, 2 known pathogenic variants (MAPT: p.P301L; TBK1: p.I450Kfs), and 4 novel variants (MAPT: p.R406Q, p.D430H, p.A330D; GRN:...
