Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Seed amplification assays (SAAs) have shown promising results in detecting misfolded transactive response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD). To date, the use of SAA has yet to be evaluated in presymptomatic individuals. METHODS: Thirty patients carrying GRN or C9orf72 mutations, 2 microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT)...
