Language impairment in the genetic forms of behavioural variant frontotemporal ...
Samra, Kiran; MacDougall, Amy M.; Bouzigues, Arabella; Bocchetta, Martina; Cash, David M.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.; van Swieten, John C.Background Behavioural variant fronto-temporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterised by a progressive change in personality in association with atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes. Whilst language impairment has been described in people with bvFTD, little is currently known about the extent or type of linguistic difficulties that occur, particularly in the genetic forms. Methods Participants with genetic bvFT...
Motor symptoms in genetic frontotemporal dementia: developing a new module for ...
Samra, Kiran; MacDougall, Amy M.; Peakman, Georgia; Bouzigues, Arabella; Bocchetta, Martina; Cash, David M.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.Objective To investigate the optimal method of adding motor features to a clinical rating scale for frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Methods Eight hundred and thirty-two participants from the international multicentre Genetic FTD Initiative (GENFI) study were recruited: 522 mutation carriers (with C9orf72, GRN and MAPT mutations) and 310 mutation-negative controls. A standardised clinical questionnaire was used t...
Neuropsychiatric symptoms in genetic frontotemporal dementia: developing a new ...
Samra, Kiran; Macdougall, Amy; Peakman, Georgia; Bouzigues, Arabella; Bocchetta, Martina; Cash, David M.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.Background Current clinical rating scales in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) often do not incorporate neuropsychiatric features and may therefore inadequately measure disease stage. Methods 832 participants from the Genetic FTD Initiative (GENFI) were recruited: 522 mutation carriers and 310 mutation-negative controls. The standardised GENFI clinical questionnaire assessed the frequency and severity of 14 neurops...
Cerebellar and subcortical atrophy contribute to psychiatric symptoms in fronto...
Bussy, Aurélie; Levy, Jake P.; Best, Tristin; Patel, Raihaan; Cupo, Lani; Van Langenhove, Tim; Nielsen, Jørgen E.; Pijnenburg, YolandeRecent studies have reported early cerebellar and subcortical impact in the disease progression of genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD) due to microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), progranulin (GRN) and chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72). However, the cerebello-subcortical circuitry in FTD has been understudied despite its essential role in cognition and behaviors related to FTD symptomatology. ...
Genetic forms of primary progressive aphasia within the GENetic Frontotemporal ...
Samra, Kiran; MacDougall, Amy M.; Bouzigues, Arabella; Bocchetta, Martina; Cash, David M.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.; Hardy, ChrisPrimary progressive aphasia is most commonly a sporadic disorder, but in some cases, it can be genetic. This study aimed to understand the clinical, cognitive and imaging phenotype of the genetic forms of primary progressive aphasia in comparison to the canonical nonfluent, semantic and logopenic subtypes seen in sporadic disease. Participants with genetic primary progressive aphasia were recruited from the int...
Prodromal language impairment in genetic frontotemporal dementia within the GEN...
Samra, Kiran; MacDougall, Amy M.; Bouzigues, Arabella; Bocchetta, Martina; Cash, David M.; Greaves, Caroline V.; Convery, Rhian S.; van Swieten, John C.Objective: To identify whether language impairment exists presymptomatically in genetic frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and if so, the key differences between the main genetic mutation groups. Methods: 682 participants from the international multicentre Genetic FTD Initiative (GENFI) study were recruited: 290 asymptomatic and 82 prodromal mutation carriers (with C9orf72, GRN, and MAPT mutations) as well as 310 m...

Early neurotransmitters changes in prodromal frontotemporal dementia: a GENFI s...
Premi, Enrico; Pengo, Marta; Mattioli, Irene; Cantoni, Valentina; Dukart, Juergen; Gasparotti, Roberto; Buratti, Emanuele; Padovani, AlessandroBackground: Neurotransmitters deficits in Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are still poorly understood. Better knowledge of neurotransmitters impairment, especially in prodromal disease stages, might tailor symptomatic treatment approaches. Methods: In the present study, we applied JuSpace toolbox, which allowed for cross-modal correlation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based measures with nuclear imaging der...
Neurodevelopmental effects of genetic frontotemporal dementia in young adult mu...
Finger, Elizabeth; Malik, Rubina; Bocchetta, Martina; Coleman, Kristy; Graff, Caroline; Borroni, Barbara; Masellis, Mario; Laforce, RobertWhile frontotemporal dementia has been considered a neurodegenerative disease that starts in mid-life or later, it is now clearly established that cortical and subcortical volume loss is observed more than a decade prior to symptom onset and progresses with ageing. To test the hypothesis that genetic mutations causing frontotemporal dementia have neurodevelopmental consequences, we examined the youngest adults ...
