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

Frontotemporal dementia and its subtypes: a genome-wide association study

Raffaele Ferrari, +181 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The findings suggest that immune system processes (link to 6p21.3) and possibly lysosomal and autophagy pathways ( link to 11q14) are potentially involved in FTD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Working memory, attention, and executive function in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.

TL;DR: A comparison of working memory, attention and executive test performance in patients with AD and frontotemporal dementia shows characteristic frontal lobe abnormalities in FTD and temporoparietal change in typical-AD, highlighting the importance of the posterior hemispheres in working memory.
