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

Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume

Derrek P. Hibar, +432 more
TL;DR: It is shown that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg=−0.155), and these findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampus volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progressive supranuclear palsy pathology caused by a novel silent mutation in exon 10 of the tau gene: expansion of the disease phenotype caused by tau gene mutations.

TL;DR: This study provides direct molecular evidence for a functional mutation that causes progressive supranuclear palsy pathology and demonstrates that mutations in the tau gene are pleiotropic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics of dementia

TL;DR: The evidence for, and the approach to, genetic testing in Alzheimer's disease (APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 genes), frontotemporal dementia (MAPT, GRN, C9ORF72, and other genes), and other familial dementias is focused on.
