A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the cause of chromosome 9p21-linked ALS-FTD

Alan E. Renton, +85 more
- 20 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: The chromosome 9p21 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD) locus contains one of the last major unidentified autosomal-dominant genes underlying these common neurodegenerative diseases, and a large hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the first intron of C9ORF72 is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of MAPT mutations and haplotype in frontotemporal lobar degeneration in Northern Finland

TL;DR: It is concluded that although pathogenic MAPT mutations are rare in Northern Finland, the MAPT H2 allele may be associated with increased risks of FTLD and eoAD in the Finnish population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slowly progressive frontotemporal lobar degeneration caused by the C9ORF72 repeat expansion: a 20-year follow-up study.

TL;DR: It is indicated that there is great individual variation in the progression and duration of C9ORF72-associated FTLD, and also language variants or mixed phenotypes may be present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Characteristics of C9ORF72-Linked Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration.

TL;DR: A high frequency of neuropsychiatric symptoms is detected; however, these symptoms seem not to be specific to C9ORF72-associated FTLD, which should be considered in cases of middle-age-onset psychosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low prevalence of progranulin mutations in Finnish patients with frontotemporal lobar degeneration

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine mutations and genetic variations of the PGRN gene in Finnish patients with FTLD and FTLD with associated motor neuron disease (FTLD‐MND).
