Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The longevity gene Klotho (KL) was recently associated with neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Its role in the brain has not been completely elucidated, although evidence suggests that KL-VS heterozygosity is associated with a reduced risk of AD in Apolipoprotein E ɛ4 carriers. Conversely, no data about genetic association with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are available so...
