Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Heterozygous mutations in the progranulin gene (GRN) leading to decreased progranulin levels are one of the most frequent causes of inherited frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We evaluated progranulin levels in dried blood spots from capillary finger-stick collection (DBScapillary). METHODS: Paired venous Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma and DBScapillary samples were collected from each...
