Temporal order of clinical and biomarker changes in familial frontotemporal dem...
Frontotemporal Dementia Prevention Initiative (FPI) Investigators; ALLFTD Investigators; GENFI investigators; Staffaroni, Adam M.; Quintana, MelanieUnlike familial Alzheimer’s disease, we have been unable to accurately predict symptom onset in presymptomatic familial frontotemporal dementia (f-FTD) mutation carriers, which is a major hurdle to designing disease prevention trials. We developed multimodal models for f-FTD disease progression and estimated clinical trial sample sizes in C9orf72, GRN and MAPT mutation carriers. Models included longitudinal cli...
Age at symptom onset and death and disease duration in genetic frontotemporal d...
Moore, Katrina M.; Nicholas, Jennifer; Grossman, Murray; McMillan, Corey T.; Irwin, David J.; Massimo, Lauren; Van Deerlin, Vivianna M.Background: Frontotemporal dementia is a heterogenous neurodegenerative disorder, with about a third of cases being genetic. Most of this genetic component is accounted for by mutations in GRN, MAPT, and C9orf72. In this study, we aimed to complement previous phenotypic studies by doing an international study of age at symptom onset, age at death, and disease duration in individuals with mutations in GRN, MAPT,...
