Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Methylation of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has potential as a marker of brain damage in neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Here, we study methylation of cfDNA in presymptomatic and symptomatic carriers of genetic FTD pathogenic variants, next to healthy controls. METHODS: cfDNA was isolated from cross-sectional plasma of 10 presymptomatic carriers (4 C9orf72, 4 GRN, and...
