BACKGROUND: Familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration (f-FTLD) is the second most common form of young-onset dementia, with diverse clinical presentations, neuropathological substrates and genetic backgrounds. While evidence suggests that glymphatic dysfunction, neuroaxonal injury, and cortical microstructural alterations may jointly contribute to f-FTLD, their interrelationships across genotypes remain unclear....
