Abstract excerpt
Current genome-wide association studies of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are underpowered due to limited samples. Further, common genetic etiologies between FTD and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remain unknown. Using the largest summary statistics of FTD (3526 cases and 9402 controls) and ALS (27,205 cases and 110,881 controls), we found a significant genetic correlation between them (rˆg = 0.637,...
